Summary

People have taken dangerous risks trying to fly。 Some inventors built wings for their arms and flapped them like birds。 Others tried to fly with balloons or tried to glide with the wind。 This book describes the creative, fascinating, and wacky experiments that people tried before the airplane was invented。 This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 4 to 6。 It’s a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children。

This is a Stage 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades。 Let's-Read-And-Find-Out is the winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books & Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series。

Supports the Common Core Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards。

This book talks about the beginning trials of learning to fly and why people and things cannot fly。 It talks about gravity and air flow and how certain wings create lift。 It also explains how the Wright Brothers created the first airplane。 I would use this in my classroom for a science lesson and then have students try and build something that will fly out of paper and other materials。

Great book!

I did not really enjoy this book。 The book doesn't have a story line to it。 The book does contain valuable information that children would love to read and learn about。 I did not really enjoy this book。 The book doesn't have a story line to it。 The book does contain valuable information that children would love to read and learn about。 。。。more

Beyond the Pages

As a stage 2 reader, this book was appropriate。 It introduced the basics and contained some helpful facts。 I could definitely see this book as an intro for younger kids as part of a thematic study。

Pretty straightforward informational text。 Wished it could have included helicopters。
