Cromwell Dixon's Sky-Cycle

(3) K-3 This picture book tells the true story of fourteen-year-old Cromwell Dixon's invention of a flying bicycle in 1907. The story takes readers through ambitious Dixon's hard work and eventual triumph, with Nez's narrative conveying the excitement behind the novelty of human-driven flight. Period clothing and a hint of brown undertones give the vibrant mixed-media illustrations an old-fashioned feel. Bib.
