Nice little nonfiction book about the development of earmuffs. Particularly useful if you need to get into copyright/patent law with kids (I'm serious) or if you want to consider truth vs how history is remembered/recorded.

I love, love, love the artwork in this book! ( )

What's great about his book is that it explains both how a thing becomes "invented" and also (even more importantly) how the story of an invention becomes part of the collective memory and, eventually, considered history. ( )

This is the story of how Chester Greenwood invented earmuffs, sort of! He actually took the idea and just made it better with his own design and then later in the 1970s there became a Chester Greenwood day. It also goes into the historical development of this product and business methods. ( )

It is a good example of biography because it is around Chester Greenwood, who invented earmuffs.
Earmuffs was not first invented by Chester, but he was the one who made it better.
It is a good book to know the history and resources of Chester Greenwood's holiday!
