(2) K-3 Illustrated by Oliver Dominguez. The only biography about Tesla published for young readers introduces an individual who knows what he wants to accomplish (an alternating current generator) but struggles to turn that idea into a tangible product. Stylized illustrations surround Tesla with scientific instruments while utility poles and wires crowd the New York City streets. The book's back matter is particularly strong. Reading list. Bib.
