(3) K-3 Smart about History series. This kid-friendly book, presented as an elementary-age student's school report, begins with a history of human attempts at flight before focusing on the basic facts about the Wright brothers' lives and work. The book ends with a brief look at "how flying changed the world." An informal, light tone; childlike drawings; captioned photos; and word balloons enhance the appeal of this offering.
