Who Was Henry Ford? by Michael Burgan (105 pages)

Summary

On July 30, 1863 in Dearborn, Michigan, a boy was born who would change the world. Who was this boy? His name was Henry Ford. Henry had five siblings in all. Sadly his mother died while giving birth to her seventh child. Henry loved to take things apart and put them back together again. This passion allowed him to find his true dream of becoming an inventor and aided him in manufacturing the first car.

 Opinion 

I really enjoyed this book because I loved learning about how the first cars were made. One thing that upset me was that Henry's mother died along with one of his siblings. I found that the story about how Henry used an ax to take down a wall so that he could test his first car was rather amusing. I had no clue how hard it would have been to create a car. If you like history and cars, then this is a perfect book for you.
