The wright brothers were ordinary yet fascinating brothers. These guys really enjoyed creating and building things since they were kids and eventually developed a love for building planes. Though they had many trials, errors and constant setbacks, they continued to perfect the airplane as best they could. It's inspiring to read about the lengths these brothers had gone through to create and do something thats never been done.

I believe this book is set up to be a mock up of a research project done by a boy in 'Ms Brant's' class. There is a full history of aircraft running from Da Vinci to modern fighter jets and there is an in depth study done on the Wright Brothers with full description, illustrations, and real photos of their process. What I liked about this book was it created a relationship between the reader and this boy whose project it is. He describes his interest in planes and experiments that he has done with items that fly and there are even projects provided for readers who are a little antsy. There is a little too much "HOW COOL IS THAT?!!" in the written part of the text so I was not thrilled with how it was written but it seems its goal was to pull in a reader who is a little mentally busy and to be a little inspiration.

The Wright Brothers Take Off by Jon Buller tells the story of The Wright Brothers from a kids point of view. The story is in the form of a book report and is told from a child's point of view. I think that would definitely appeal to children, because children learn from other children. The book is visually attractive and it is also a history lesson. The little boy in the story uses comic-strip type pictures and he even uses humor to get teach readers about the Wright Brothers. ( )

This book is about a boy writing a report about the Wright brothers for school. The book has many interesting facts, illustrations, and photographs included in it. I would like my students to read this book, not only to learn about the Wright brothers, but to get ideas from this book on how to write a report about someone that they admire. ( )
