My daughter had to do a book report last year on the Wright Brothers. This was a great historical book that was very readable to any child older than 9 years of age. I also read the book myself as I find this topic interesting and was very impressed with the history and activities this book introduced. I believe it was a perfect mixture of reading and activities to show the practical application of what you had just learned. My daughter and I both loved it. This book will definately increase the facination towards flying or at least give one an appreciation as to how far we've come in flight travel.

My almost 6 year old LOVED the book. He read it cover to cover by himself (reads at a 7th grade+ level) and talked about it every day. He was so sad when I returned the book to the library because he wanted to do all the experiments in it. I just bought the book for him for Christmas! He's going to be so excited! Of the hundreds of books he has rented from the library, I'm pretty sure this has been his favorite. He really enjoyed the time line in the book and enjoyed seeing how his other favorite pilots fit into the Wright Brother's lives. I definately recommend this book and so does my son.

Thorough review of the Wright brothers' experiments, with activities like making a glider and experimenting with lift. I thought the writing style was a bit dry.

Very good for my sons to read and learn how to be inventive in their work. Great story and good activities.

The actual reading and stories are accurate and valuable information. Many experiments and activities are not very clear or able to be performed as written. This is a better book for reading and the wonderful photographs.
