(4) K-3 Genius at Work! Great Inventor Biographies series. This series profiles the achievements of less well-known inventors; the clear writing can be overly simplistic. Readers will appreciate the books' attention to childhood influences and lifelong perseverance. Most of the archival photos are portraits; the few sidebars, photos of the inventions, and diagrams add interest. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Genius at Work! Great Inventor Biographies titles: Heart Man, Laser Man, and The Teen Who Invented Television.
