Summary:
Wilbur and Orville Wright were born in the late 1800’s and liked to build kites. When their father gave them a toy helicopter, they used its design to make other toys. In 1892 the opened a bicycle shop where they repaired and built bicycles. In 1900 they began building gliders. They observed birds in order to build the best gliders. They tested a total of over 200 wing shapes. They soon began construction on an airplane called the Flyer. The Wright Brothers later passed away but their inventions helped with the airplanes we use today.
Recommendations:
I would recommend this book to the pre-kindergarten group, for those children who enjoy planes.
Potential problems:
I see none.
My reaction:
A very simple book that gets to the point without a lot of words. It was a little too simple for me.
