Super cute illustrations - I loved the style and all the colors. The bio felt a little disjointed - it seems like in this short, kids form would have been better to follow the tech angle all the way through. But I enjoyed reading it with my 4yo and talking about how computers have changed.

This one didn't quite hit the mark for me. The language, and story, are simple, but at times almost too simple. I expected the less savory aspects of Jobs' life to be glossed over, but why was Chrisann introduced in one sentence with zero context and then never mentioned again? The book mentions that Jobs snuck into calligraphy classes, but doesn't really explain why or what the result was. The narrative doesn't seem to have a clear purpose and ends abruptly.

I wouldn't discourage a student from reading this if they picked it out themselves, but I wouldn't go out of my way to read it to them either.

I thought this was a cute and informative book on Steve Jobs! It had fun illustrations and simplified prose and my toddler was glued to the book as I read! Great addition to the series!

I enjoyed this book about Steven Jobs! This is a shortened version of the inspirational brief biography about visionary and Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs. It still contains much from the original book, so this would probably be best for children ages 3-4 as they may have questions about some of the things covered. I loved the illustrations!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

This was an oversimplified biographical sketch of Steve Jobs. My favorite part is that the artist even drew him wearing a black turtleneck when he was a baby.

Steve Jobs is the newest to be spotlighted in this latest edition of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. This series is such a delight and the perfect way to educate not just kids but everyone about historic and cultural icons.

Jobs was a businessman, technological entrepreneur and, innovator. This book portrays Jobs from getting adopted, to designing an at-home computer with Steve Wozniak and the formation of Apple.

Aura Lewis illustrates this installment and does an amazing job. Aura's art style was so captivating and her art definitely further helped tell Jobs' story. This installment did a great job of educating me about a historical figure who I had never heard of before this book. I love collecting these books and am so thrilled to add this one to the rest of my collection.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
