Here you'll read about the development of ballooning; the earliest gliders; the Wright brothers' first sustained flights; Charles Lindbergh's solo trip across the Atlantic; Amelia Earhart's courageous flights; the explosion of the airship Hindenburg; the dogfights of World Wars I and II; Chuck Yeager's blast through the sound barrier; the Apollo astronauts' first steps on the moon and the building of the International Space Station.

The Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship. Built on the Clyde in 1869 for the Jock Willis shipping line, one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest. This ship was built at the end of a long period of design development that was unfortunately halted as sailing ships gave way to ships driven by steam propulsion. You see this ship used the power of the wind and gathered the wind in its sails to further its journey, The Cutty Sark was very badly damaged by fire on May 21, 2007 as it was under restoration. It was re-opened to the public on April 25, 2012, much to the delight of would be seafaring kids and adults. Take a look at the Cutty Sark from below and above through the lens of John D. Weigand. Practice reading skills through word recognition, word repetition and rhyme as you learn some fun facts and then get to work on some research of your own, The point of all these books by Dyan and Weigand is to make kids not only learn, but also to learn to think as well as to imagine. Award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan loves kids, loves to learn herself and loves it when kids learn. There is a free music video that goes along with this book on YouTube on the Bellissimavideo YouTube channel to further enhance the learning process. The book is dedicated to a true seafaring soul.
This is the story of a Morris Minor 1000 Saloon. The date of its first registration was April 24, 1964, and its engine cylinder capacity is 1,098. It is now classed as a historical vehicle. The first owner was a Mr. Ernest Griffiths or Ernie as he was called, who was my dad's brother. Sadly, Ernie died on March 28, 1982, and Moggy was left in his will to his son, John Griffiths. Sadly, John Griffiths died on October 19, 2005, and his wife, Teresa Griffiths, left it in my care, giving it to me after John's funeral. This was on a promise that I would look after it and keep it in the family. John and his family nicknamed it Moggy, and from 1982 till 2005, John and his wife used this car constantly. John's two girls, Ellen and Leanne, cherished this car, knowing it was their father and grandfather's car. Because of this, I really felt that I had a strong responsibility to look after it. I will say no more as Moggy wishes to tell the story of his life himself.
How Boats Work, is told in rhyme; it not only educates, but also entertains anyone reading it, from the very young to the young-at-heart. Arnold, the anchor, introduces the different parts that make a boat work-- from the engine, to the electronics in the pilot house, to the rudder and propeller beneath the boat. He gives each a catchy name as he explains the jobs, and how important they all are in working together to move the boat over the water. Penny Talbot provided the rich colorful illustrations to accompany Arnold's tale. Her many years of cruising, her love of the sea and sea life, and her artistic talent combined to weave a magical look and feel to the story as it unfolded.
