The Time Machine and Other Cases By Semour Simon



Einstein Anderson is a very smart boy. He uses science to solve lots of riddles and problems that his friends have. In this chapter book, Einstein solves cases such as "Mysterious Tracks, Disappearing Ice Cream, and the Lightweight Rocket". Since Einstein is so smart his friends always try to trick him. His friend Margaret tries to fool Einstein with mysterious animal tracks in the woods but Einstein knew that she was not telling the truth. He used science to figure out that she made up an animal and the tracks too!
Teachers could use this book to teach students that science is everywhere. If Einstein did not understand science , he could not solve all of the mysteries in the book. This book also gives the reader a chance to solve the mystery before Einstein does so it engages the reader in the text.
