Boy who invented television

Years passed as he patented his idea and worked hard to develop a prototype. She weaves together scientific explanations with boyish details of a young lad growing up. And that momentous potato field where Philo first envisions television bursts off the page with the radiant light of discovery.

But he never stopped inventing or dreaming of how he could shape the future. Her intellectual curiosity is surpassed only by her passion for science.

But what to do about her messy experiments? Ada is speechless until she turns 3. She amazes her friends with her experiments. Ada examines all the clocks in the house, studies the solar system, and analyzes all the smells she encounters.

Fortunately, her parents stop her from putting the cat in the dryer, sending her instead to the Thinking Chair. But while there, she covers the wall with formulae.

What can her parents do? Instead of punishing her passion, they decide to try to understand it. Rhymed couplets convey the story of a girl who likes to build things but is shy about it. Rosie picks up trash and oddments where she finds them, stashing them in her attic room to work on at night. See all books by Kathleen Krull.
