Both Thomas Edison and Henry Ford started off as insatiably curious
tinkerers. That curiosity led them to become inventors--with very
different results. As Edison invented hit after commercial hit, gaining
fame and fortune, Henry struggled to make a single invention (an
affordable car) work. Witnessing Thomas's glorious career from afar, a
frustrated Henry wondered about the secret to his success.
This little-known story is a fresh, kid-friendly way to show how Thomas
Edison and Henry Ford grew up to be the most famous inventors in the
world--and best friends, too.
