Summary/back cover:
An aeroplane’s amazing, for it travels through the sky, above the clouds, for miles and miles, so very fast and high!
Jet above the clouds in this picture book with playful art, a kooky animal crew and a brilliant picture dictionary. The story CD lets children follow along with the jolly rhyming text, with music and fun sound effects to accompany the reading. It’s the perfect way to learn about aeroplanes – at bedtime, on car journeys, or anytime at all!
This book is from the Amazing Machines series. As the mother of two boys I’m likely to end up with the entire set. It is worth checking out Bronwyn’s review of Terrific Trains, from the same series.
I purchased this book to prepare my little ones before I took them on their first plane ride. I would absolutely recommend it for this purpose.
It’s not really a story, but more of a rhyming description of each stage in a plane journey. It covers checking in the bags at the terminal, the pilots preparing for take-off, the cabin crew serving drinks and the aeroplane landing at the destination, amongst other things. At the end of the book is a sort of picture glossary of the parts of the aeroplane and the airport. My children aren’t even two, yet, but can now identify control towers!
This edition also comes with a CD. The CD isn’t essential, but it does include a copy of the story with aeroplane noises on it, which I rate as rather cool.
My rating: 4 out of 5
