Who Was Nikola Tesla? (Who Was?)

Great book! My 2nd grader is doing a project on Tesla, and he really enjoyed this book. He went to bed willingly each night, because he was so excited about his evening reading time. He finished reading it in three nights. I highly recommend this book; even though it’s geared for a younger audience, it would be great for younger or older kids...I even read and enjoyed it!

All the "Who Was?" books are great but I love how they authors find truly interesting things about people and weave it into a biography. I've read all the ones we own, before my kids do, and have learned so much about people I thought I already understood. The ending (spoiler alert) about this super-genius man feeding pigeons, essentially forgotten by so many, just really broke my heart. I had no idea.

I am so, so pleased to have found this (Who Was...) book series!With it, my 8 year-old is catapulted far past Marvel, journeying well beyond Star Wars, touching down in a land of a reality that surpasses fiction, and therefore promotes wonder.

There are such few children's books on Tesla. I've been waiting for this gem forever!

My 8 year old daughter loves these books. Short chapters help her feel like she's accomplishing something. She loves learning about how they grew up.

He needed a Nikola Tesla biography to read for first grade and this worked wonderfully. He learned a lot and really liked what he read. His project went great, so I'm happy with the book.

My science-loving son really enjoyed the ups and downs of this story!

Perfect for my 3rd graders historical figure presentation.

Very good 5

Suitable language for young readers, yet gives detailed information about the amazing input of this great man. My daughter loves this book.

My son enjoyed reading for his book report. Had lots of information and was written in a compelling way for kids

Absolutely love this series! So cool to find a book on Tesla for kids!

Parfait pour enrichir le vocabulaire en anglais de ma fille.
