Celebrated in a film featuring Omar Sharif in his final role, meet the scientist known as the "Father of Optics," Ibn al-Haytham! During the golden age of science, knowledge, and invention in Muslim civilization -- also known as the "Dark Ages" in Western Europe -- this incredible scholar discovered how we see and set the stage for the methods we now know as the scientific process. Packed with beautiful and engaging photos, kids will learn all about this fascinating scientist. The level 3 text provides accessible, yet wide-ranging, information for independent readers. This book is a companion to the international educational campaign, "1001 Inventions and the World of Ibn al-Haytham," that includes interactive exhibits, workshops, live shows, and a 12-minute film starring Omar Sharif in his final film role before his death. Review: Good books for kids - Very good for kids . My son used it for a project in school Review: VERY INFORMATIVE, EXTREMELY INSPIRING - Even though Iโm 30 years old, this book was so informative and inspiring to me. Yet again evidence of the positive influence of Muslims/Islam on the world. Cannot wait till my son is old enough to read so he can absorb the knowledge held in this simple yet powerful book! Also really love the colorful pictures.

It is a good book but it is not for toddlers
It is a good book but it is not for toddlers. I was hoping to find something for my 3 year old. It is more for older kids

Easy to read and very informational!
I was so excited to get this book for my 5 year old! He just gobbled it up. It's very easy to read and understand, and provides solid information. Even I learned a lot from this book! So happy these books are available for my kids to read - I wish I had these when I was younger.
