About this title

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 3-A succinct picture-book biography that stresses Lindbergh's interest in speed and flight, culminating in his dashing transatlantic feat. Highlighted events from the subject's action-packed life set the pace. He is shown to be a resourceful, self-reliant, adventuresome youngster who builds his own tree house, loves to tinker and becomes an excellent mechanic, and eventually wing walks in barnstorming events and flies the first U.S. airmail routes in brutal Chicago winters. The clear prose relates the pertinent facts briefly and with verve. Watercolor illustrations are crisp and light filled, with energy to match the text. An afterword includes a bit about Lindbergh's later life and notes a few titles for further reading, films, and places to visit. An enticing title that will make primary-grade readers want to read on.
