Because of Mr. Tesla we enjoy the electricity we have today. The book begins in his childhood and focuses on his curiosity and tenacity. These traits plus his hard work ethic and intelligence are what gave them the success he experienced as an adult.
This book also reveals another side of Thomas Edison that is rarely discussed at the elementary level.
Ms. Rusch provides additional information about:
1. Tesla and his other ideas/inventions
2. the rivalry between him and Edison
3. Scientific Notes (AC vs. DC plus explanation behind each idea Tesla had that is featured in the book)
Text features: diagrams, labels, headings (in the scientific notes only)
*Highly recommend. A book I am considering buying.
Pair with Mr. Ferris and His Wheel by Kathryn Gibbs Davis. (*In Electrical Wizard Mr. Ferris' wheel is mentioned and pictured. Mr. Ferris and Mr. Tesla were at the World Fair together, featuring their inventions).
