| As a child I loved this book and I recently picked it up for nostalgia's sake. While I still like the illustrations and the story itself, I can't help but notice the frequency of poor grammar and clunky sentence structure. Where were the editors and proofreaders? How did this book make it to shelves without corrections? Anyway, it's still enjoyable... if a bit sloppy. |

| Our 10 year old grandson started the book and couldn't put it down. He declared early in his young life that he wants to be a scientist, so this is perfect for him.
We are great fans of all that Bethlehem Books publishes. They are very accurate in their judgement of age appropriateness. |

| This is a fantastic book. I have the softcover edition. We got this because we were talking about Thomas Edison and reading the Edison Childhoods of Famous Americans book. This is an excellent tie-in, and so much more.
The pages are high-quality paper, and each inventor gets a page (some get a two-page spread). You get historical context for the time period the inventor was living -- there is an illustrated timeline at the bottom of the pages. Then you get a large section of text ... Read More: |

| 4.The Wright Brothers (Landmark Books) by: Quentin Reynolds February 12, 1981 |

|
| This work, for the young reader, is an excellent additon to one of the best series for young people over the past fifty years. This is the story of the Wright Brothers, from their early childhood through the time of their invention of the "flying machine." It does stress the influence their parents, particularly their mother, had upon them. It is simply written and very direct. The story is quite easy to follow and gives the young reader a very good insight to the minds and work ethic these brothers ... Read More: |
