Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak: Geek Heroes Who Put the Personal in Computers (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Inventors and Scientists)
It’s not often you find a good nonfiction writer also blessed with the gift of cartooning, but Venezia pulls off that double duty in the Getting to Know the World’s Greatest Inventors & Scientists series. Taking on pioneers of all stripes, Venezia combines a chatty text (characters get “freaked out” or are “super-successful”) with a prudent mixture of period photographs and rascally cartoons. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak portrays the computer vanguards as hippie-haired geeks who dazzled science fair judges before spawning such icons as the Apple II and the iPod. Though the back matter is thin, this is a fun package that will keep things fresh, even for reluctant readers. Grades 2-4. --Daniel Kraus--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
