Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The story is as brief, graceful, and direct as the course of a paper airplane across a living room. This spaciously crafted book is very much in the spirit of its subject. Fact is turned into magic.” —New York Times
Factually accurate, yes-but also a witty pictorial reincarnation of Bleriot's first experience of an airship . . . There's dash, style, and economy here in both text and pictures. —Kirkus Reviews
Fact is turned into magic. —The New York Times Book Review
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 texture and tone to this marriage. This is vintage Provensen —School Library Journal
