To the Rescue!: Garrett Morgan Underground

(3) K-3 Great Idea series. Illustrated by David Parkins. Kulling's picture book–biography series on historical inventors continues. Zamboni's name is synonymous with his ice-resurfacing machine; the interesting story behind it is engagingly told and nicely illustrated in watercolor and colored pencil. The son of freed slaves, lesser-known Morgan's inventions include what became gas masks and traffic lights; his compelling biography, with finely detailed pen-and-ink and watercolor art, includes attention to prejudices he faced. Review covers the following titles: Clean Sweep! and To the Rescue!.
