(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tim Zeltner. In the 1830s, blacksmith John Deere revolutionized farming in the Midwest with a new plow made of steel. Zeltner's luminous, undulating landscapes and elongated figures, created using acrylic on plywood with a crackled finish, add a moody depth and period feel to the biography's folksy telling. Additional facts in the back matter provide context. Bib., glos.
