Literature For Lunch-New Lunch Read Aloud-Discovering Nature's Laws-A Story About Isaac Newton by Laura Purdie Salas

I really like the Creative Minds Biographies. They are simple and easy to understand. This one is on Sir Issac Newton-fabulous!
I have to comment that reading these it getting A LITTLE WEIRD! When we read our first one about Gutenberg, we read it on his "death day" which I think was February 3rd! As I read, I looked up and said, "why, today is February 3rd"! Then when we read Germ Hunter about Pasteur, we read it on Feb 15th and there was some important date on THAT SAME DAY.
We read the one about Eastman and I don't remember any dates, but TODAY we finished Sir Isaac Newton and GUESS WHAT!!??!?! "On March 2, 1727, Newton traveled to London for a Royal Society meeting"!! TODAY is March 2nd AND Newton died on DANIEL'S BIRTHDAY! Fun!
