Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - a little disappointing
Although this book appears to be biographical fiction for kids, the fiction outweighs the history so heavily that I see very little value in it as a history teaching tool. As a story, the plot is moral and enjoyable enough (if a bit trite) and seemed appropriate for a 2nd or 3rd grader just getting into longer chapter books. If you are hoping to learn a lot about the real Wright brothers, though, look elsewhere.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The history of these young boys; young flies:
This is a book back in history. The biography of two males come to me for the coolest time for kids! So, if you are a young child, you may like to read a biography two males. Gruateened you will love it!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun and loaded with facts!
This book is really good. I like the way the author provides information about Orville and Wilbur individually, instead of just lumping them together as "the Wright brothers." I also liked reading about their childhood, how they got interested in flying, and how they developed their airplane.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Tale of Two Inventors
Read about the life of those amazing inventors, Wilbur and Oriville Wright, as they learn explore, and create a flying machine!
