ReviewsThe Fantastic Ferris Wheel: "An absorbing read for young makers and dreamers." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review"The book's strength are the dramatic, mixed-media illustrations, which capture the enormity of Ferris's wheel and its spectacular appearance when lit up at night. . . . Useful for discussing how written texts and illustrations work together." --School Library Journal, starred review"Salerno's precisely drafted illustrations give a solid sense of the era, including intricate renderings of Chicago architecture and the construction of the wheel, while Kraft creates a genuine suspense in the lead-up to its debut." --Publishers Weekly Author descriptionSteven Salerno has illustrated over twenty popular picture books, including The Fantastic Ferris Wheel: The Story of Inventor George Ferris by Betsy Harvey Kraft, and the forthcoming Goldenlocks and the Three Pirates by April Jones Prince (FSG/Fall 2017).
