DK Readers series.
Short sections of text, leveled for "reading alone" and accompanied by lots of photos, introduce an inspiring group of women with noteworthy accomplishments, including scientists, athletes, artists, and business figures, both past and present. A diverse range of cultural backgrounds and ethnicities is represented. The biographical details are cursory, but they may spark further interest in specific individuals. Glos., ind.

In serviceable prose, Jenner relates the milestones in the Wright brothers' lives, from their childhood in Dayton, Ohio, to their success at Kitty Hawk and the worldwide accolades that followed. Very basic principles of flight are explained, and sidebars--some relevant, others not--offer additional data. Photos, color art, and a few diagrams illustrate the book. Glos., ind.
