A cool idea with a big splash
You know the Super Soaker. It’s one of top twenty toys of all time. And it was invented entirely by accident. Trying to create a new cooling system for refrigerators and air conditioners, impressive inventor Lonnie Johnson instead created the mechanics for the iconic toy.
A love for rockets, robots, inventions, and a mind for creativity began early in Lonnie Johnson’s life. Growing up in a house full of brothers and sisters, persistence and a passion for problem solving became the cornerstone for a career as an engineer and his work with NASA. But it is his invention of the Super Soaker water gun that has made his most memorable splash with kids and adults.

- My 6th grade son used this book as one of his references for a Famous Scientist report at school. The book highlights Mr. Johnson's accomplishment, but what my son liked most was how he could related to Mr. Johnson's spirited personality. This book is an easy read that would also be good for younger children.
- This is my first favorite book of the new year! Really gets kids thinking they can do anything. Can't wait to read more by Chris Barton.
- Concise and exciting. A great read, informative for kids. Inventions and challenges are expressed through out the narrative. Suitable for 5 years and above
- Fascinating tale of a NASA engineer, from his youth to adulthood. He was/is always drawing and tinkering, inventing things. Great encouraging read for children.
- LOVED by my 2nd graders! Inspirational read aloud great for ALL grades.
- My son loves this. It̢۪s important for children to read real stories.
- What a terrific, unexpected picture book biography! Loved the true story of Johnson's life and the dynamic illustrations.
- This was above my expectations! My 7 year old girl asked me if this book really happened. After reading the author's not her, she stared off and said, "Cooool". I could see her little engineer mind going. Highly recommended!!!
