Excellent Book! submitted by rekha on June 27, 2015, 10:15am I would have given it 10 stars if it was possible.
Pleasantly Surprised submitted by ejmarcash on July 18, 2016, 1:59am My 7 and 8 year olds were interested in the true story behind the Ferris wheel. We all learned something new and they asked me to read it again the following nights.
I have a friend last name Ferris.

So, I thought I'd give it a try. Very readable and entertaining. Good art, also. Very nice!
