The Story of Electricity #[1969]

In "The Story of Electricity," the Tyler family's summer getaway takes an unexpected turn when their overzealous use of appliances blows a fuse—prompting a visit from neighbor Dick Jennings, who brings spare fuses and a surprising invitation to learn about the science behind the power they rely on. With gentle curiosity and clear-eyed storytelling, the issue unfolds as Jennings guides the family through the history and mechanics of electricity, all rendered in the crisp, detailed style of Kurt Schaffenberger, whose art—both interior and on the cover—brings the wonders of energy to life.
