The Wright Brothers
By Annie

Have you ever been on an airplane? Did you ever wonder who made it and how it was made? Read this nonfiction book and amazing book. The Wight brothers from the series (In Their Own Words). By George Sullivan who wrote most of the books in the series. This book has photographs of the Wright brothers, their airplane, and much more! Go steep by steep making the airplane like you were helping them.

The Wright brothers Wilbur and Orville were not the only kids in the family. There were five kids in the family, four boys and one girl. Their names were Wilbur, Orville, Lorin, Reuchlin, and Katharine. Wilbur was four years older than Orville. Otto Lilienthal inspired them, he made gliders.

Learn about history, see real photographs, and be amazed by who made the first airplane. Did you know that the Wrights owned a bicycle shop? Or that Orville crashed nine times? Or… well I can’t tell everything, read this great book to find out.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to lean about the Wrights. The Wrights made that airplane for you; the least you can do is learn about them. This book will answer all your questions about the brothers.  Are you ready to takeoff in a great book? I hope you are!
