In The News
“Lasky’s appealing narrative zeroes in on Newton’s curiosity and hunger to learn about the world, characteristics likely to resonate with children today. Young readers will come away with plenty of facts about the scientist, but they also might chuckle at his antics and absentmindedness.” —Booklist
“Lasky makes Newton accessible to contemporary readers . . . Budding scientists may gain some insight into this creator’s life, and those needing to do a report will find some useful material.” —School Library Journal
“Lasky places Newton’s story in historical context, weaving in such events as the bubonic plague and Great Fire of 1666 . . . Hawkes’s soft paintings tenderly capture Newton’s discipline and the lifelong drive toward discovery.” —Publishers Weekly
“A lively . . . volume that may inspire readers to share Newton's interest in the world around them.” —Kirkus
