**An engaging picture book biography based on the incredible true
story of a Jewish refugee who pioneered home video games and launched a
worldwide obsession.
**
Do you ever wonder how video gaming was invented? What came before your
PlayStation or Xbox? This is the story of Ralph Baer, a refugee from
Nazi Germany, who used his skills--and a lot of ingenuity and
persistence--to make life a little more fun.
Television was new when Ralph returned from serving in World War II, but
he didn't settle for watching TV. He knew it could be even more fun if
you could play with it. He tinkered and tested, got help and rejected,
but with perseverance and skill, he made his vision come true! This is
the inspiring story of a fearless inventor who made TV video games a
reality.
