This review is from: Are We There Yet?: The Wright Brothers' National Memorial Park, Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, Site of the First Heavier-Than-Air Machine Powered Flight (Paperback)

I recently took a trip to Wright Brothers' National Park with my niece and this book was a great addition to our trip. The puzzles gave her something to do on the road besides counting signs. With every page turned, her interest level increased as we got closer to the park. When we got there, she used the scavenger hunt to direct her trip and she actually read the signs that most kids went darting past. This book turned out to be her guide to this important time in history. This book is great for kids (and their families) as they will be turned on to history in a brand new light. Definitely recommended!
