review 1: The highlight of this book is definitely the pictures. Wendell Minor did a fantastic job of creating beautiful and realistic works of art for the piece. I did not particularly care for the story though. It was presented in a choppy manner and was clearly told to the reader. I would have liked a little more of an introduction and smooth transitions. I love Amelia Earhart and her story, but I was not impressed by this particular book.
review 2: Illinois author Robert Burleigh highlights Amelia Earhart's 1932 solo flight across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Ireland in this historical fiction picture book. Even children as young as first grade can appreciate how difficult her flight was and what Earhart achieved. Burleigh's word choice is very creative and add... mores to the story--some explanation may be necessary for primary audiences. The book provides some background facts after the end of the story, too, which might be interesting to some readers. less
