Description
“An excellent example of entertaining non-fiction, this picture book for older readers brings together the ingenuity and perseverance of a young inventor as a fully illustrated history of George Ferris, his wheel, and the 1893 World's Fair.” – Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor
A Junior Library Guild Selection
Orbis Pictus Honor for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children
Capturing an engineer's creative vision and mind for detail, this fully illustrated picture book biography sheds light on how the American inventor George Ferris defied gravity and seemingly impossible odds to invent the world's most iconic amusement park attraction, the Ferris wheel.
A fun, fact-filled text by Kathryn Gibbs Davis combines with Gilbert Ford's dazzling full-color illustrations to transport readers to the 1893 World's Fair, where George Ferris and his big, wonderful wheel lifted passengers to the skies for the first time.
