The Boy Who Invented TV: The Story of Philo Farnsworth by Kathleen Krull

3.0

Picture-book-style story depicting the life of Philo Farnsworth, apparently the person who first conceived of the original television technology. End papers have photographs of tvs throughout history. Appreciated the inclusion of the corporate takeover of his invention, and focus on his early life (he was only 14 when he had the initial idea). Might try booktalking to 5th/6th grade, but could easily go lower.
