Steve Jobs, adopted in infancy by a family in San Francisco, packed a lot of life into fifty-six short years. In this Who Was…? biography, children will learn how his obsession with computers and technology at an early age led him to co-found and run Apple, in addition to turning Pixar into a ground-breaking animation studio. A college dropout, Jobs took unconventional steps in his path to success and inspired the best and the brightest to come with him and “change the world.”

My 11 year old daughter loves this book. She also likes the others in the series, but she really loves this one. Its cool that she understands the background behind all the Apple devices she is using. She really embraced the idea that Steve Jobs did not invent any of the technologies, he just made them practical, and more importantly, fun to use. She said she thought she knew a lot about Jobs before reading the book, but she really didn't know much at all. She was amazed in the amount of interesting facts about his life. She talked about Jobs for about 3 days straight after reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Apple Story with Steve Jobs

Ok, I like a book as true story with Steve Jobs. He was famous Businessman and Inventor in the United States. I always remember this Apple Computer equipment including Black / White Monitor, Keyboard, Drives and Printer while I was in my old High School classroom from 1981 to 1986. I was a young teenager and did not learn about Steve Jobs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book!
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2017

This book was amazing! It was short and included many details about Steve Jobs. What surprised me the most was the fact that he was so poor and then became a billionaire. "Steve couldn't pay for college". "Steve Jobs was a success- a big success. He wasn't a millionaire anymore. He was a billionaire." Steve Jobs has showed me that it doesn't matter where you come from, you can be a success. That a poor child can go from having no money to becoming one of the richest and youngest men alive.

This series is wonderful, my 8 yo son used this for a biography book report and thoroughly enjoyed the book. He wished there were a few more details about Steve, but I think the authors struck a good balance. I had read the Steve Jobs autobiography, by Walter Isaacson, so I was able to fill in a few things for him, and he was quite impressed that his book was so much shorter than the one I had read. It is a great introduction to the man behind Apple, particularly when so many children use Apple products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my 12-year-old....and me!

Between this book and a documentary on YouTube-actually his dissertation to Stanford on YouTube were great information for a report for my 12-year-old daughter.

I really appreciated learning about his tenacity to work for what he believed in.

I don't know all the closed-door stuff about him of course or his real life, but it seems seems was really an amazing person when it came to work anyways.

Though it seemed he may of been difficult to work with at times it also seems he really had a knack for seeing the talent and beauty in a lot of different people and objects.

It also opened the discussion with my daughter about the fragility of life, and no matter how much money you have....we have to really think about the things that are worth living for...and loving for.

I liked to read this e book. It was easy to understand the life of one of the most important character in the computer and internet era. I was very impressed with the reading. It was amazing for me to know a little closer about Steve Jobs life.
I recommend this e book to everybody who wants to know a little more about this icon man. For children it's OK.
I think it could be longer because it was very interesting and I wanted to read more.
