Marvelous Mattie: How Margaret E. Knight Became an Inventor Book

With her sketchbook labeled My Inventions and her fatherstoolbox, Mattie could make almost anything - toys, sleds, anda foot warmer. When she was just twelve years old, Mattie designed a metal guard to prevent shuttles from shooting off textile looms and injuring workers. As an adult, Mattie invented the machine that makes the square-bottom paperbags we still use today. However, in court, a man claimed the invention was his, stating that she 147 could not possibly understand the mechanical complexities. 148 Marvelous Mattie proved him wrong, and over the course of her life earned the title of 147 the Lady Edison. 148 Author: Emily Arnold McCullyReading Level: Ages 4-8Format: 32 pages, HardcoverPublisher: Farrar, Straus and GirouxISBN: 978-0374348106Read More
