Stories and poetry about animals.

I can draw Indians: Sweeney loved to draw. Most of all he liked to draw animals and Indians. One day, just as he was finishing a big picture of two chiefs of the Blackfoot tribe, one of the chiefs said, "How!" Now that had never happened before. One of the chiefs invited Sweeney to visit, so they hopped on the horse Sweeney had just drawn and rode to a village. There Sweeney met Little Beaver and the two boys were friends right away. They went to play in the woods and had great adventures.

This book is a biography of the man whose fascination with flying machines produced the Bleriot XI, which in 1909 became the first heavier-than-air machine to fly the English Channel.
