Jamar tackles a challenge in this book from the science “Read-it! Readers” series when he decides to enter a kite contest during spring break. Knowing he can seek information at the library, Jamar and his dad go there to look at books that can help. Jamar uses the books and creates a supply list. Then he and his dad shop for the supplies and Jamar carefully builds the kite at home following a plan from the library books. When he has a colorful kite, he and his dad test it at the beach and Jamar makes necessary adjustments so it flies well. On the day of the contest, Jamar’s kite flies well but does not win a prize. However, he still loves kite flying, and it is obvious he has learned a lot. This easy-to-follow book shows how to get information and to make something with the information obtained. Detailed text and illustrations combine to show exactly what Jamar did to make a kite. This book could be used to supplement science lessons in the spring and to help students build class kites.
When Jamar sees a newspaper ad for a kite-flying contest, he decides he is up for the challenge. Jamar and his father make a trip to the library, where they find some books on making and flying kites. Jamar learns about lift and drag, but does he learn enough to make the winning kite?
