(3) K-3 Ready-to-Read series. Illustrated by Larry Day. This account of how the Wright brothers arrived at the first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, conveys the principles under development as well as the human story of Wilbur and Orville braving mosquitoes and rough weather to perfect their craft. The text, illustrated with realistic watercolors, is well organized, with plentiful background on earlier attempts to achieve flight.
