Summary:
This nonfiction book contains information related to aviation and aviators (starting with Daedalus and Icarus). The book is densely illustrated; all illustrations are captioned, and some are labeled. A time line, a glossary, and an index conclude the book.
Teaching Ideas:
Excerpts from the book could be used with other material (e.g., myths, WWI, or WWII). Portions could be used for figure-reading lessons, as well. Otherwise, this book is probably best used as occasional reference, although learners with interest in the topic may find it enjoyable reading. The pages are visually "busy," and some text is in small type, especially captions and labels.
