As young boys, Orville and Wilbur Wright loved all things mechanical.

As adults, the brothers worked together to invent, build, and fly the world’s first successful airplane. This is the fascinating story of the two inventors and aviation pioneers who never lost sight of their dream: to fly, and to soar higher!

My eight year old son loves this series of books. He learns about historical figures and can decided if he'd like to study them more. These books are a great, short intro to some of the most influential people in history. I highly recommend the series.
The series of Who Was/Were is great for kids with a desire to know more about history. We've given at least 23 of the series to our 8 yr. old grandson. He devours them and then follows up with more questions. What a blessing for young minds...
As I have stated before I love this line of books. I use them in tutoring sessions for kids who need help in reading. They are very high interest and are good for learning vocabulary, since many words are defined within the context of the sentences. Lots of interesting facts.
I bought this for my second grader and we did summer reading together. It was a great opportunity not only to improve his reading skills, but to learn an important history lesson at the same time. He loved it.
These are great books! Bought for my 8 year old son since we were headed to the Outer Banks this summer. He is an avid reader, so it was a quick flip for him, but he learned a lot and loved reading it!
My 2nd grade son was given a monthly literacy project of reading a biography, writing a speech given in 1st person as if he was Wilbur Wright, and to dress the part for the speech. He is at a reading level M (ReadingA-Z levels) and this book was at the perfect level for him. It was well written in a way he could relate to. He enjoyed the simple pictures every few pages to guide him along with the reading.This book was a great introduction for us into the "Who Was/Were" book series and we will be buying more in the future.
Great little book. We buy lots of Who Was books and use them for homeschool enrichment. Short chapters, larger font, and lots of pictures make these books an easy read. This was a great addition to our collection.
I purchased this book for my son who was behind in school with his reading. The book cover with what looks like bobble heads got his attention. He is in the 3rd grade and finds this reading easier for him to understand while learning about our history.
