520    An engaging picture book biography based on the incredible
       true story of a Jewish refugee who pioneered home video 
       games and launched a worldwide obsession.Do you ever 
       wonder how video gaming was invented? 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.
