Little Innovator

The Little Innovator: A Moral for the Young Innovator, the Future Inventor and Entrepreneur is the second book in a series on entrepreneurship. This book, in particular, is written for young readers and their parents. Written in rhyme and accompanied by illustrations, this inventive book follows a second grader who is being tested by his teacher, who is expecting to hear back exactly what was taught in class.When the very bright Andrew fails the test by giving different answers than the rest of the class to simple math questions, his teacher decides to question him further. Surprisingly, Andrew's responses are not what is expected, but are instead creative and out-of-the-box answers.His teacher asks the easiest possible question: "How much is 1+1?" Andrew comes up with several different answers, each justified in a logical, but totally different way of thinking.The bewildered teacher concludes that she must accept, appreciate, and even encourage this type of thinking, giving Andrew an A. She even gives him a big hug and predicts that he has a bright future ahead of him, hopefully one day becoming a successful innovator.Eliezer Manor is a physicist who studied at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
