Picked this one up for my daughters because we happen to see Amelia's car at a museum here in Denver. They loved the book, the artwork (the DC spread was their favorite) and the recipes in the back.

I can’t believe this wasn’t up for a Caldecott award. This is a fabulous book that is about a true event between Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt. The drawings were fantastic pencil drawings and this is Brian Selznick’s work. I didn’t notice until I was done.
It’s true, Amelia took Eleanor up in a plane at night to fly around DC and see how beautiful the lights were. They flew to Baltimore and then were driven home. This is a great story about women being capable of doing fun and exciting things too.
My niece loved this book and she gave this 5 stars. The nephew liked this book too, but he wasn’t as crazy as the niece and he gave it 4 stars. READ THIS BOOK!

One of my favorite books when I was younger, probably because it's about two women I admire greatly.

A lovely book that introduces young readers to two heroines of the twentieth century and a little known adventure the women shared. While some liberties are taken with the night's actual events in the name of storytelling, the attention to period detail is commendable. Selznick reproduced the wallpapers and china patterns used in the White House at the time! In fact, the illustrations are so detailed, they would merit a second appreciation on their own, apart from the (wonderful) narrative. Ask children what they can find. Just one example, the first line of the book is hidden somewhere in the illustrations. Can you find it?

Read for 5420 class
I love stories featuring strong, independent women. Girls (and boys) need to be read these stories from a young age, and this is an excellent book for that purpose!
