In the spring of 1929, Colonel Charles Lindbergh, famous for his 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic from New York to Paris, set down his biplane in a small field near Canton, Mississippi. On his various flights around the country he liked to land in out of the way places for the night to avoid the crowds. In this story, Gil Wickstrom witnesses the landing in a neighbour's field and is lucky enough to meet Lindbergh in person. This book has been beautifully illustrated by Thomas B Allen. This book could be easily enjoyed in one silent reading session.
This blog contains reviews and comments on children's books which I own, have read, and would like to share. I look for books at markets and opportunity shops. They are cleaned up, covered and read. Then I take them to the classroom for students to read. Students can borrow the books at any time. Many books are also from my personal library, especially the Youth Fiction. Students can preview some of them on this blog. Now, I am also on the lookout for great new releases for my grandson Archie.
