Summary: Amazing Book for Young Readers
Review: The year is 1903, and Wee is a journalist mouse who writes and publishes the Mouse News alongside his beloved wife and children in a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. The very same bicycle shop that is owned and run by Wilbur and Orville Wright. At the time being, the two brothers are working on a machine called the Flyer, which they hope will be able to transport people through air in the future. When they head towards Kitty Hawk, Wee knows that he must tag-along in order to break the news to his avid readers. And who knows, perhaps Wee will even get the chance to take flight himself.

In this wonderful new children's book, author Timothy R. Gaffney introduces first-time readers to the Wright Brothers', as well as a cute, yet quirky character named Wee. Gaffney's descriptions of building the Flyer, and testing it out are vivid and descriptive, while Bernadette Pons' illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, and coincide magnificently with the story. Overall this is a must-have book for any children interested in flying, as it gives a brief history lesson, and will take them on a fun reading adventure.
