Summary

"Thomas Edison famously said, "I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work." In this book, you will read about 10 inventors and their inventions that stemmed from a mistake. Making mistakes doesn't mean you failed ... it means you made something totally new! Inventors included in this book are Thomas Edison, Jan Matzeliger, Guglielmo Marconi, Wilson Greatbatch, James Dyson, Margarete Steiff, Stephanie Louise Kwolek, Charles Goodyear, Percy Spencer, and John Stith Pemberton. Kids will love all the fun facts and true stories inside, told in both prose and comic form!"--, Provided by publisher
