Apr 17, Kimberly rated it really liked it Shelves: children-books. I give this book a 4 star rating. This book is about Philo who invented the tv. The story goes thru all his life story and how people have told him that he wouldn't be able to do it. He finds his spark in the machines that are around him and make the difference. Three ways to use this book: 1. Learn the history of the television 2. Research about the impacts of tv 3.

I always love a good story about someone who rises from humble beginnings to do something amazing that many people or the whole world are blessed by.

Philo Farnsworth was a brilliant boy who followed his quest to create the first television. Unfortunately, he did not receive the credit he deserved for his work during his lifetime. A story that celebrates creativity, hard work and perseverance, masterfully told for the audience. May 23, Shelli rated it it was amazing Shelves: history , science , picture-books , non-fiction , my-favorites. This is a nearly unbelievable true story of a young boy who solved the riddle of how to make television.
The hardest part however, getting funding for and building his model, would be years of dedication, patents and unfortunately lawsuits. A fantastic non-fiction picture book that explains why Philo Farnsworth is not a household name even though he should be.
Jun 28, Rayjan Koehler rated it it was amazing. Interesting read. Though that is not quite enough to go on, and the book is too short to get a better idea I think. May 05, Shane Marie rated it it was amazing Shelves: biography. I honestly never thought about who invented the first tv or who first created the television image, but I'm glad to know it's Philo Farnsworth! The illustrations match perfectly to the aesthetic of the writing, and I think it's a great read for Elementary level readers.
A children's book written for ages 8 to year olds, the book explains the tenacity of a young boy raised on a farm with little access to education and the means for experimentation.
Nevertheless, he persisted and invented one of the most important devices in history. Eye-opening and a bit sad, I did enjoy learning about this time in history and Philo Fransworth's place in it.

Philo Farnsworth was just a farm boy and one day he was plowing a potato field and saw the parallel rows in the field. He saw ways to create a television.
He worked day and night. It took him 6 years to make it. He became very popular and well known after creating it. This book would be a good book for people who like to read about history. It was a good and short book to read. The book was very easy to read. It was simple and kind of interesting. It is a Non-Fiction book. Feb 26, Lynn Davidson rated it it was amazing Shelves: reviewed , picture-books. Philo Farnsworth was curious from the very beginning.
He asked many questions and at an early age showed his genius in electronics. Throughout his life he invented many things, including television, although he lost his patent. After his death his wife worked to be sure his name was credited for his accomplishments.
This true story is so well written and wonderfully illustrated. May 28, Katie rated it really liked it Shelves: wou-ed An interesting and unique biography on an interesting and unique man that I knew nothing about until reading this book. This book is a bit wordy for a read aloud with young students, but would be a great resource when discussing biographies.
Enjoyed finding this book at work today. I think the author would be appalled at the junk on TV these days, though the ability to watch and own and lend movies and documentaries at home from dad's or streaming might have appealed to his sense of sharing stories and info.
Apr 02, Miss Sarah rated it liked it Shelves: biography , picture-books , kid-inventors.
