[ 책 소개 ]
* An ABC Choices Book
* A Teachers' Choice Book
"So You Want to Be President?"로 2001년 Caldecott상을 수상한 Judith St. George(글)과 David Small(그림)이 다시 한 번 팀을 이뤄 만든 재미있는 그림책입니다.
발명과 관련된 재미있는 일화들을 간결한 문장과 유머러스한 그림으로 보여줍니다. 미국의 대통령이었던 조지 워싱턴과 벤자민 프랭클린은 정치가이자 훌륭한 발명가였다는군요. 프랭클린의 피뢰침, 미터기, 다중촛점 렌즈 등은 아직도 유용하게 쓰이고 있습니다. 형제 발명가, 노예발명가, 여성발명가 등 다양한 계층의 발명가들이 귿즐의 발명품들과 함께 소개되며, 우연히 이루어진 발명, 시대를 앞서가는 발명, 새로운 발명을 이끌어내는 발명, 전혀 쓸모없는 발명(닭 안경, 비상탈출장치를 갖춘 관, 전기로 머리를 태워버리는 이발용 헬맷 등)도 소개합니다... 과학과 발명에 관심이 많은 어린이들에게 더욱 흥미로운 책입니다.
큰 사이즈의 | 닫기x |  What is 페이퍼백?
표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Book Description
St. George and Small, the Caldecott Medal-winning team who created So You Want to Be President?, are back with another spirited and witty look at history-this time focusing on the inventors and inventions who have given us lightbulbs, automobiles, and all the other things that keep the world humming. So You Want to Be an Inventor? features some of the world's best-known inventors-Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Eli Whitney-as well as lesser-known geniuses like Georges de Mestral (inventor of Velcro), Wilhelm Roentgen (inventor of X rays), and Hedy Lamarr (inventor of a system that became the basis for satellite communication-who knew?). Whether you're a dreamer or a loner, a copycat or a daredevil, this book might just inspire readers to invent something that could change the world!
Publisher's Weekly
With a lighthearted style similar to the collaborators' Caldecott Medal-winning So You Want to Be President?, this volume furnishes brief sketches of inventors and inventions both famous and little-known. As she did in the earlier volume, St. George invites readers into her exclamation point-studded narrative and introduces many of the clever contraptions with snippets of advice: "If you want to be an inventor, be a dreamer" and "Don't worry if people laugh at you." The latter remark leads into mention of "Fulton's Folly," Robert Fulton's widely mocked steamboat: "But the laughter lost steam in 1807 when Robert's Clermont chugged up the Hudson River from New York to Albany with paddle wheels churning and flags waving." Some readers may miss the kinds of details that tantalizingly cluttered the pages in the previous volume (here, Alexander Graham Bell's invention gets one paragraph: "When he grew up, he dreamed of people talking across distances maybe by electric signals. Electric signals it was!", leaving Small with less fodder for his portraits). Still, she includes intriguing tidbits, such as the fact that glamorous actress Hedy Lamarr, who fled Austria before WWII, worked with a friend to invent a system for guiding torpedoes by radio signals ("Her goal? Beat Hitler!"). Humorous touches infuse Small's illustrations (for Franz Vester's invention of a coffin with an escape hatch, the artist shows a hand reaching out of the grave as guests depart the funeral); readers will particularly cotton to his caricatures of such luminaries as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. All ages.
School Library Journal
St. George and Small take a skewed, funny, and informative look at the history of inventions and their inventors and what it takes to become one. You don't need white hair and wrinkles, la the classic image of Ben Franklin. At 12, while still a rosy boy, he invented swim paddles for his hands and kick paddles for his feet. Being stubborn as a bulldog can help: Charles Goodyear spent 10 years messing about with raw rubber, bankrupting himself and going to debtor's prison, before he discovered the secret-sulfur-to making tires, tennis balls, etc. Elijah McCoy (the "real McCoy") invented an oil can that lubricated engines while still running and became not only an innovator but also an idiom. In brief sketches of nearly four dozen dreamers, from Henry Ford to Hedy Lamarr (who helped invent a system that became the basis for satellite communication), the message is simple: "There will always be barriers to be broken-. It takes passion and heart, but those barriers could be broken by you!" Small's lively, fluid caricatures make for a winning collaboration from the duo who brought us So You Want to Be President?
Booklist
Lively energy infuses the work of this award-winning team. Indeed, there is at least one exclamation point on every page as they introduce all manner of interesting inventions. St. George strings her narrative together by noting characteristics of inventors: be a dreamer like Alexander Graham Bell; be stubborn like Charles Goodyear; find a need and fill it, like Cyrus McCormick. She also illustrates unintended consequences, such as the way the cotton gin promoted slavery. However, by including the line, "Inventors aren't all men!" she perpetrates an unintended consequence of her own. Of the 40-odd inventors noted, only three are women, including film star Hedy Lamarr, who helped invent wireless technology. That small number is misleading as those familiar with Ethlie Ann Vare's Mothers of Invention: Forgotten Women and their Unforgettable Ideas (1988) will know. Small's ink, watercolor, and pastel chalk illustrations have the same waggish charm as his Caldecott-winning So You Want to Be President? (2001). Gutenberg watches the pages fly off his printing press into the hands of Renaissance readers; Georges de Mestral sees visions of Velcro in the cockleburs stuck to his wool pants. A bibliography and biographical notes are appended. GraceAnne DeCandido |
