She tells the reader that Wilbur and Orville’s interest in planes began when their father brought home a flying toy. They dissected it and examined it until one day it broke. She tells of her brothers successful accomplishments of making a press machine, running a bicycle shop and eventually creating a flying machine on December 17 in Kitty Hawk. I didn’t really find this book interesting even though it did have a lot of good information about the Wright brothers. The illustrations were good, but not interesting either. I did enjoy how the book was told by their sister it made it a little more personal. In the classroom I would probably do a project in creating a flying machine like a plane or a kite. Then have the students try their designs outside to see how or if the work. Another good classroom idea would be to have the students get into groups and make a poster board with the evolution of the plane from then to now. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Given the amount of literature and use of proper grammar and large vocabulary words, the most appropriate grade level for this book would have to be 3rd grade. Students would be challenged in their English skills and learn how to sharpen their science process skills simultaneously. There are various reasons, apart from the elaborate use of grammar, as to why this book is appropriate for 3rd graders. Primarily, the story exemplifies what it means to not give up on something while keeping an inquisitive mind, the markings of a true scientist. At the end of the book, is a short note from the author explaining how the information was gathered to compile this book. The note explains the validity of the sources including some published work from the Smithsonian.
Not only is this book a great work of literature, but it could also be used as a tool for science. I could provide students with a broken “Flying Machine” and bring in parts to repair it just like the Wright Brothers did.
