It’s a Snap! George Eastman’s First Photograph, from the Great Idea Series, takes you back in time to when a camera was a luxury and about the size of your microwave! The name George Eastman may not sound familiar, but his company is famous, Kodak; named such because Eastman enjoyed the sound of the letter ‘K’. After taking up this hobby, Eastman was determined to make photography more accessible to everyone, even children! “Say Cheese” and enjoy this hobby thanks to the hard work Eastman did to put a camera in your pocket! The story begins with an inspirational poem and makes a lovely read aloud with charming illustrations throughout. 32 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of It's A Snap! George Eastman's First Photograph (Great Idea Series)
George Eastman had a new hobby: photography. The year was 1877, and photography was not as easy as you might think. It cost a lot and the equipment was bulky, but George was about to change all that. What he lacked in formal education, George more than made up for in ingenuity: he invented dry plates, film, and the Brownie camera! The rest is history.
For anyone who has ever taken a picture or posed for one, It’s a Snap! George Eastman’s First Photograph, with its playful, informative text and lively illustrations, is a splendid introduction to biography, to photography, and to the amazing man who had so much to do with putting picture-taking within reach of us all.
