A great book for explaining air travel to young children. Large type makes it easier for slightly older children, and the pictures give plenty to look at. They're realistic too. I plan to read this with our child a number of times before we fly.

Definitely dated, but the text level is so good for toddlers. I am hopeful that there will be an updated one.

Typical Byron Barton: clear, simple text describing an activity more than telling a story, and bright, vivid illustrations with lots of diversity. Too simple for preschoolers (unless you turn it into a didactic experience and ask lots of questions as you read), but great for toddlers.

Great, simple book for a storytime on airplanes, although as the wife of a helicopter pilot, I can't help but object to the inclusion of helicopters...separate kind of aircraft, guys! Write a book called Helicopters!
