'In this series, the reader learns about trendy brands seen by people everyday around the world. The books discuss how the brand was invented and how it grew to be famous. All of these books contain information that is very engaging and informative to readers of all ages and stages of life. These non-fiction books include numerous non-fiction text features to support the reader in understanding the important facts in the book. Some non-fiction text features included in each book are engaging photographs, a table of contents, labels, headings, graphs, bold-faced words, a chart, a timeline, a glossary, and an index. The interesting thing about all of these books is that the ‘brand’ was invented by ordinary people who just thought of something that hadn’t yet been invented. It is very inspiring to read the stories of how one idea became such an important part of our everyday lives. These books allow the readers to be ‘dreamers’ of their own possible inventions to make our world a better place.', Charity Nadrozny, 2nd Grade Teacher, Illinois, Educator Review,'Apple is a tech company that continues to make new and innovative products including iMac computers, Mac Book laptops, iPhones, iPads, AirPods, and Apple Watches. Apple began in 1976 to create a personal computer. The first computer was created in Steve Jobs’s garage and was only a circuit board. The case, keyboard, and monitor were added later. This book does a nice job of laying out the timeline of how the Apple company has grown over the years to become the technology powerhouse that it is today. The pictures and graphics do an excellent job of supporting the text and visually condensing some of the written information into infographics. Readers with a 4th-grade reading level would be able to access the text and information. Readers interested in the history and growth of Apple would find this book full of interesting information.', Kim Moore, South Sound Book Review Council, Washington
