Alfred Nobel: The Man Behind the Peace Prize

32 pp. | Sleeping Bear | February, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-281-3 $17.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Zachary Pullen. Wargin focuses on Nobel's adult life, from his invention of dynamite to his horror at its use ("...people began to use dynamite to solve problems by hurting others. This made Alfred very sad") to the creation of the Nobel Prize. Though the text is superficial, it gives a sense of the man. Pullen's accompanying oil paintings are nicely shaded but distractingly caricaturish.
