Review:

Elisha Gray is always a large presence in our family. We were so excited to find The Second in the World to Invent the Telephone: Elisha Gray by Farren Phillips. We were even more excited after reading it. There were facts we had not heard and the games inside brought the history and science alive for the kids. We may be a little biased but as a family of teachers we think it is great for classrooms too. –Marjan Torrie, the great(x4) granddaughter of Elisha Gray

Key Selling Points:

• STEM topics—covers a variety of scientific topics including electricity, sound waves, and magnets in a way that can be easily understood by young readers
• Engaging nonfiction format—biographical and historical facts are made accessible with fun illustrations and interactive activities throughout
• Unique history series—celebrates individuals less recognized by history as the second person to do something incredible; other titles profile Sir Francis Drake and Alfred Russel Wallace
• Limited competition—there have not been many nonfiction children’s books published featuring Elisha Gray, especially within the last 5 years
