ERNO RUBIK AND HIS MAGIC CUBE
KERRY ARADHYA / KARA KRAMER
This first picture book biography of Rubiks Cube creator Erno Rubik reveals the obsession, imagination, and engineering process behind creating an iconic puzzle.
Celebrating 50 years of the most popular puzzle in history!
In the hills of Budapest, near the banks of the Danube River, lived a quiet boy named Erno Rubik. He loved books, art, nature, andmost of allpuzzles. And he grew up to create the most popular puzzle in history. This picture book biography explores the experience and interests that inspired the inventor of the Rubiks Cube.
From the time he was a child, Erno was curious about the objects around him. What did they look like on the inside? What about geometric shapes? How many ways could he fit them together? Could he combine them so they somehow became something that was greater than its components?
Erno grew up and became a professor of architecture and design. Still fascinated with how shapes worked together, he fashioned an object, a cube made up of smaller cubes that twisted and turned without breaking. This object eventually became known as the most popular puzzle in history, the Rubiks Cube.
Kerry Aradhyas accessible text takes us behind the scenes of the creative process and into the mind and imagination of a remarkable inventor. Kara Kramers cheerful, multi-media illustrations encourage readers to think about inspiration, reflection, and the joy of puzzlesand solutions.
