The Day-Glo Brothers

The Day-Glo Brothers
by Chris Barton
5/5 Stars
Reviewer: Sue


Summary:
This wonderful biography of Bob and Joe Switzer and their experimentation of fluorescent paint and ultraviolet light is a fun depiction of an invention that you don’t even think about, and just take for granted.  Who could imagine inventing new colors?  With great illustrations, it is the story of how florescent paint was discovered, and how it became useful during World War II, for safety, advertising, and many other creative things. 

Review:
Simple gray, black, and white illustrations are the perfect backdrop for showing how the new Day-Glo colors can brighten up the world.  Make sure that you read the sections at the end of the book.  There are some interesting facts and information included here!
