What came before your PlayStation or Xbox? This is the story of Ralph Baer, a refugee from Nazi Germany, who used his skills--and a lot of ingenuity and persistence--to make life a little more fun. Television was new when Ralph returned from serving in World War II, but he didn't settle for watching TV. He knew it could be even more fun if you could play with it. He tinkered and tested, got help and rejected, but with perseverance and skill, he made his vision come true! This is the inspiring story of a fearless inventor who made TV video games a reality. 520 "A picture book biography of Jewish refugee, Ralph Baer, the pioneering inventor of home video gaming"--|cProvided by publisher. 521 8 AD1000L|bLexile 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 600 10 Baer, Ralph H.|vJuvenile literature. 600 11 Baer, Ralph H. 650 0 Video game designers|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Inventors|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Video games|xHistory|vJuvenile literature. 650 1 Video game designers. 650 1 Inventors. 650 1 Video games|xHistory. 655 0 Electronic books. 690 BLUESTEM AWARD [2025 NOMINEE] 700 1 OHora, Zachariah,|eillustrator. 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aHannigan, Kate.|tBlips on a screen|dNew York : Alfred A.
