Obtain Immediately Marie Curie: Prize-Winning Scientist Constructed By Lori Mortensen Supplied As Hardbound

most women were not even attending college, Marie Curie earned degrees in physics and mathematics, When she began studying rocks, she soon discovered elements that gave off an invisible energy called radioactivity, Because of her amazing discoveries, inMarie Curie became the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize for Physics.
Today, she is remembered as one of the most important scientists of all time, I would use this book to introduce a science lesson, perhaps on minerals or chemistry,I was sorely disappointed with this book, especially in light of the other great picture book biographies that I've read by this author amp publisher.
The text would have earned a higher rating, Mortensen didn't gloss over the facts that Curie faced discrimination for being a woman and that her scientific work probably killed her.
Perhaps the most

interesting part of the book is the collection of "Did you Know, . . " facts at the end of the book, Given the constraints of thepage signature, I would have found it preferable to read less about Curie's early years and more about her scientific work.


The real downfall of this book came with the illustrations, Only one person is frowning in the entire text even the page in which we learn that the family had just lost their home shows wellclothed, smiling children playing in a room with luxurious drapes amp furniture.
Likewise, the page in which the illustrator copied an actual photo which I found using Google images, shows a smiling Curie posed with her smiling husband in the original photo, both wear looks of concentration.
