The Wright Brothers

The Wright boys' interest in flying began with a toy given to them when they were small children. As young men, they first opened a printing shop and then a bicycle shop, all the while experimenting with how to design a flying machine. Finally they achieved their incredible goal-man's first powered flight. In this accessible picture book with a "House that Jack Built" approach, young readers are gradually introduced to all the steps that led up to the Wright brother's remarkable historic accomplishment.Pamela Duncan Edwards is the author of 'The Wright Brothers', published 2003 under ISBN 9780786826827 and ISBN 0786826827.
