"This book...recounts the persistence of a Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, to build a flying machine to cross the English Channel....  The text is succinct, caption-like in its directness and brevity....The paintings...add the necessary testure and tone to this marriage.  This is vintage Provensen" - School Library Journal   Similar books: The Boy Who Invented TV by Kathleen Krull I, Galileo by Bonnie Christensen My Brother Martin by Christine King Farris The House That Jane Built by Tanya Lee Stone A Computer Called Katherine by Suzanne Slade Otis and Will Discover the Deep by Barb Rosenstock Mesmerized by Mara Rockliff Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine by Laurie Wallmark A Weed Is a Flower by Aliki Electrical Wizard by Elizabeth Rusch The Librarian Who Measured the Earth by Kathryn Lasky The Amazing Age of John Roy Lynch by Chris Barton Marvelous Mattie by Emily Arnold McCully Starry Messenger: Galileo Galilei by Peter Sis Electric Ben by Robert Byrd Around America to Win the Vote by Mara Rockliff The Tree of Life by Peter Sis Fearless Flyer by Heather Lang Those Rebels, John & Tom by Barbara Kerley Solving the Puzzle Under the Sea by Robert Burleigh
