What's the Matter with Albert?: A Story of Albert Einstein Book

Billy Whitestone gets the assignment of a lifetime when his school paper sends him to interview Albert Einstein. But though the world-famous physicist loves children, he is also somewhat reluctant to be interviewed. How will Billy win him over?

Using child-friendly language and stunning oil paintings to engage young readers, this fictionalized biography offers a vivid account of the life and times, struggles and accomplishments of Albert Einstein — who is revealed as a mischievous and sometimes temperamental student in his own right. Based on archival photographs, Jacques Lamontagne's artwork draws readers into Einstein's world, while a handy historical timeline accompanies the story.
