review:
'Frank Einstein and the Electro-Finger' proves once again that you can laugh and learn at the same time. Jon Sciezka and Brian Briggs have a genius of a series going on here.
Frank Einstein and his friend Watson are back along with wise-cracking robots Klink and Klank for another science adventure. This time around the subject is energy, and Frank has an idea for creating energy from the air like Nikola Tesla did. Frank's nemesis is back with his smart sidekick Mr. Chimp. Edison wants to get rich by corralling all the power in town so that everyone has to buy power from him at exorbitant prices. Along the way, we run into grandpa Al Einstein and hear from Frank's always travelling parents. Will Frank and Watson be able to foil Edison this time or will he be triumphant?
The book is filled with lots of great drawings and knowledge. Also included is Mr. Chimp's recipe for ants on a log, but I don't recommend trying it. It's a great series, the science is solid and the learning goes down easy without feeling forced. Kudos to the series creators for such a fun series.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Abrams, Amulet Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks for allowing me to review this great ebook.
