More About George Ferris, What a Wheel!

A book about George Ferris has such promise, and if the book were designed as a larger picture book with quality paper and binding, it could've been beautiful. The sepia tones of the cover and the red title have a lot of appeal. However, it's a Core Concepts book and is sold as such. Too bad. I did like the information about George... the illustrations, together with the actual pictures really help enhance the fantastic story of how this magnificent wheel came into being. Very informative, yet enjoyable. Loved this story!
