A very interesting and educational story about the Wright Brothers。 Before reading this I hadn't really known a lot about them besides the basic fact。 I enjoyed understanding who they really were。 I also love these books because they are simple， easy to read but yet still very informative。 This is a great book to understand who the Wright Brothers were。 A very interesting and educational story about the Wright Brothers。 Before reading this I hadn't really known a lot about them besides the basic fact。 I enjoyed understanding who they really were。 I also love these books because they are simple， easy to read but yet still very informative。 This is a great book to understand who the Wright Brothers were。 。。。more

This was a well written account of the lives of the Wright brothers。 It is a good beginning for researching how airplanes came into existence。

The first in this series which I read was the one about Thomas Edison。 For a children's audience there was a lot of adult personal TMI。 I liked this one much， much better。 The first in this series which I read was the one about Thomas Edison。 For a children's audience there was a lot of adult personal TMI。 I liked this one much， much better。 。。。more

I read this alongside my sixth grade son for a school project。 I love this series of books that make it easy to learn new things。 The Wright Brothers are very interesting and it makes me want to read the adult book by David McCullough。 I am especially intrigued by their sister Katharine Wright who was instrumental in offering support in a myriad of ways to allow the brothers to be successful。

This book follows two brothers， Orville and Wilbur Wright。 It is full of information about each of the brothers and dives into their lives。 This book displays their love for inventing and working with machinery。 It shows the buildup to their greatest invention， the airplane。 Not only do they build an airplane， they successfully fly it。 This biography is perfect for students in third through fifth grades。 I would use this book during my fourth grade social studies class while studying North Carol This book follows two brothers， Orville and Wilbur Wright。 It is full of information about each of the brothers and dives into their lives。 This book displays their love for inventing and working with machinery。 It shows the buildup to their greatest invention， the airplane。 Not only do they build an airplane， they successfully fly it。 This biography is perfect for students in third through fifth grades。 I would use this book during my fourth grade social studies class while studying North Carolina。 The Wright brothers play an important role in the history of NC and students are fascinated by their story。 This book is full of facts and walks you through their life。 Students could create a timeline of the events that lead up to the first flight。 This book could also be used when discussing inventions。 Even though the brothers did not invent the airplane， they were the first to get one to successfully fly。 Students could try to design inventions of their own or tweak existing inventions to make them better。 They could create a product design and share it with other students。 This is a WOW book for me because of how the author stays true to who the characters are and facts about them。 I love how he includes timelines at the back of the story for the students to reference and to clarify when events happened。 The book is full of illustrations that show what the text says。 This book is apart of the Who Was？ series。 My students love to read these books and there are numerous books from this series in our classroom library。 I plan to tie this series into our informational writing that we will be working on this winter。 。。。more

Thật sự rất la thú vị。 Có thể nói ngay từ khi sinh ra họ đã có một nền tảng rất là tốt， họ được bố mẹ khuyến khích khám phá， tìm tòi。 Đây là một trong những lú do khiến họ thành công。 Nhưng cũng không thể kể đến tinh thần làm việc， kiên trì， bền bỉ và đặc biệt là niềm đam mê， yêu thích với công việc。 “Có công mài sắt có ngày nên kim” và rồi Wright Flyer ra đời。 Đây là một bước ngoặt quan trọng trong việc thay đổi thế giới。 Họ là những con người bình thường mà làm nên điều phi thường

Genre: Biographical NonfictionGrade Range: Middle Grades （4-6）I loved how simple the story was in this book。 It was adapted well， but wasn't too simple to be boring。 I also liked that it was short， but included all of the necessary information。 Genre: Biographical NonfictionGrade Range: Middle Grades （4-6）I loved how simple the story was in this book。 It was adapted well， but wasn't too simple to be boring。 I also liked that it was short， but included all of the necessary information。 。。。more

The Wright Brothers were brothers who grew up always moving。 Their dad was a Bishop and they finally settled down in Ohio。 The Brother's mom was really good at making and fixing objects especially mechanics。 The brothers learned from their mom and started building the new bikes that had just been invented。 After a few years of making bikes they started thinking about making something bigger and better。 At the time it was a worldwide race to build a successful working airplane。 The brothers joine The Wright Brothers were brothers who grew up always moving。 Their dad was a Bishop and they finally settled down in Ohio。 The Brother's mom was really good at making and fixing objects especially mechanics。 The brothers learned from their mom and started building the new bikes that had just been invented。 After a few years of making bikes they started thinking about making something bigger and better。 At the time it was a worldwide race to build a successful working airplane。 The brothers joined the race and ask the government where would be the best place to fly a plane， away from human activity and windy at the same time。 The government replied with the town of Kitty Hawk in the outer banks of North Carolina。 The brothers moved there and worked on the airplane， when something went wrong they would fix it and try again。 The first and longest flight was recorded by the brothers after multiple years working and fixing in Kitty Hawk。 After the brothers finished their successful airplane Wilbur took the plane to France while Orville made a replica and took it to the army to try and get it approved for them to use。 Both were successful with their advertising and made plenty of money by building， selling， training pilots and training engineers。 The plane got approved by the army but a few years after Wilbur died。 Orville survived and lived on to see his and his brother's airplane evolve to what it was in 1948 when he died。 I gave this a five out of five because it gives straight to the point details。 It doesn't go off on other things that were happening it just focused on the Wright Brothers and their accomplishments。 The book also gave you a background of their childhood to help you see how they got into mechanics and aviation。 The book gave pictures to help describe what the author was saying。 It also had a timeline in the back of the book to tell you what happened in the brother's lives and what was going on around the world while the brothers were doing what they were doing。 。。。more

Just another Who Was？ book。 What else can I say？ It’s just a fun little slice of history and facts that you get to eat up in just a couple minutes。 The Wright Brothers were indeed a very important part of our society and as always， these books did a great honor in giving such detailed knowledge on them。

This book was very interesting and fascinating。 So there are 2 brothers。 Orville and Wilbur wright。 They are trying to make an aircraft that will successfully fly， but they have to work very hard because it is not easy。 So one day Wilbur picks up a cardboard box that's about the size of a lunch tray。 He turns his right hand one way and his left hand the other way。 They are in the process of trying to figure out what aerodynamics is。 So they go out and try this and it works！ Orville was on the la This book was very interesting and fascinating。 So there are 2 brothers。 Orville and Wilbur wright。 They are trying to make an aircraft that will successfully fly， but they have to work very hard because it is not easy。 So one day Wilbur picks up a cardboard box that's about the size of a lunch tray。 He turns his right hand one way and his left hand the other way。 They are in the process of trying to figure out what aerodynamics is。 So they go out and try this and it works！ Orville was on the land while Wilbur was on the aircraft。 They were super excited to share what they just accomplished。 It spent so long for them to get it and they finally did。 All of this was taking place in Kitty Hawk in North Carolina。 So without them， we wouldn't have airplanes today。 I would recommend this book to someone who has interest in airplanes。 It was a really fascinating book and its crazy how they can get something that heavy into the air and flying。 I would recommend this book to someone who works hard and never gives up。 I would also recommend this book to some people in our class because they have been to the outer banks and where the brothers did it。 I would recommend this book to someone who loves flying in an airplane。 I hope whoever gets this book enjoys it！ 。。。more
