Wondrous Whirligig : The Wright Brothers¿ First Flying Machine

When Bishop Wright comes home with a special present for his two youngest boys, they can¿t contain their excitement. The tiny, wondrous whirligig spins & shoots through the air, until it falls, plop!, on the parlor floor. The whirligig has stopped spinning, but the two boys¿ heads are churning with big ideas. Why not build a life-size whirligig that can carry people way up into the sky? With Mother urging them on, that¿s what the Wright brothers attempt to do. This clever & insightful introduction to Wilbur & Orville Wright is just in time for the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers¿ first flight. Illustrated with colorful oil paintings.Glass, Andrew is the author of 'Wondrous Whirligig : The Wright Brothers¿ First Flying Machine', published 2007 under ISBN 9781422367650 and ISBN 1422367657.
