Summary: Ask for the Real McCoy
Comment: I love informational picture books, and this one is the real McCoy! All about Elijah McCoy, the son of fugitive slaves, his many inventions and how he came up with some of his ideas. His best known invention was an automatic oil cup for trains, a cup often poorly duplicated by others, so buyers would ask for "the real McCoy". The vivid illustraions beautifully detail the story. I work in an elementary school library and I've sent this book home with kids whose parents have thanked me for introducing this inventive man and his achievements to their families.
