The Great Ideas series is an excellent introduction for all ages to a broad variety of inventors, and It's a Snap! is no exception. Cute, informative, and interesting. Recommended.

George Eastman had to leave school early and get a job to help support his family. He decided he needed a hobby and he chose photography. Cameras were enormously heavy and pictures took a long time to develop and George decided to improve this. He did and history was made.
With pictures as clever as those in a child’s story book and with text as readable as a child’s story book, this book should easily appeal to children of all ages.
‘At the stone bridge, George had a brain wave. “Bunch together, everyone,” he shouted. “I’m going to take your photograph!”
“How exciting,” said the grocer.
“You betcha,” said the baker.
“I don’t know anyone who can take a photograph,” said the blacksmith.
“What’s a photograph?” asked the cobbler.’
Children’s comments:
There was some interest among the children for this book. They were interested in learning about the old days of photography. Most of the children rated it a 3, with a couple of 5’s.
