George Washington CarverScientist and InventorSeries: Famous African AmericansBy Patricia McKissack and Fredrick McKissack DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews George Washington Carver spent his life asking questions and looking for the answers. He gained a reputation as the farmers' best friend after teaching about crop rotation. He told farmers to grow peanuts and sweet potatoes to "rest" their soil between cotton crops. And what could they do with all those peanuts? Carver developed more than 300 peanut-based products—from milk to printers' ink—and more than 100 ways to use sweet potatoes. Young children love the story of this exceptional inventor.Publication Date: 01/01/2013Copyright: 2013Pages: 24Trim Size: 9 x 7 1/2Illustrations: Illus. with color and black-and-white photographs and illustrationsGrade Level: K–3Age Level: 5–8LC Number: 2012019032Lexile: 520ATOS Reading Level: 3.2ATOS Points: 0.5Quiz #: 156429AR Interest Level: LGDewey: 635FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Ed.978-0-7660-4102-8$23.60$17.70Multi-User eBook978-0-7660-5739-5$23.60$17.70 "Each simply written title in this updated series . . . provides an adequate introduction to a notable African American . . .
