Who invented the telephone? Or the snowmobile? Or even
basketball? Canadians! Meet five Canadians whose inventions changed the world:
- Rejoice when Alexander Graham Bell hears the voice of his
uncle, 13 kilometres away, through a telephone.
- Join James Naismith in the gym as he demonstrates how to play
the first ever game of "basket ball."
- Ride with Joseph-Armand Bombardier as he guides his B-7
snowmobile down a wintry slope.
- Celebrate as Rachel Zimmerman’s Blissymbol Printer helps
people share their thoughts.
- And give a thumbs-up to BlackBerry, Mike Lazardis’
amazing communication device.
Canadian Inventors is designed for young Canadians to
read themselves, and for all Canadians to enjoy. Author Maxine Trottier is a
former elementary teacher with a passion for history. She has written many
children’s books. This volume is intended for ages 7-9.
