Review by Booklist Review

Youngsters far and wide can readily identify the pudgy Pikachu, zany Mr. Potato Head, enterprising Mr. Monopoly, or bespectacled Molly McIntyre but what about the masterminds behind them? The Toy Trailblazers series presents the lives and crowning achievements of twentieth-century inventors in slim, 12-chapter volumes. Arranged chronologically, entries kick off with biographical information before homing in on the inception, formation, and ultimate success of each invention. Pokémon Designer follows Satoshi Tajiri from his insect-collecting childhood to his feats as founder of Game Freak magazine; a game programmer; and, naturally, creator of global sensation Pokémon. With captioned full-color photographs, inset fun fact sidebars, ample historical context, and appended time lines, this is a bright, engaging resource sure to spark curiosity and creativity in primary-grade readers.--Shemroske, Briana Copyright 2017 Booklist
