This was a lovely book about the beginning of the Ferris Wheel. It was both a story and a collection of info bits that made it that much more fun to read. Plus the illustrations take the reader back 120 years and make you ready to see the sun and walk the midway.

pickstory is packed with interesting information about the first Ferris wheel, World Fairs and man-made structures. all told with illustrations drawn in the style of cartoons from sixties/seventies. think "Sword and Stone" or "100 Dalmatians." Excellent for all ages.
