Customer Reviews

My son Loves this book

This book has so many great pictures and a cute story. My son is 23 months and learned so much about the planes and the airport. He also seemed to pick up more vocabulary as we went over the terminal and other areas of the airport. Highly recommend!

EXCELLENT!!

Great book for child's first flight! Excellent conversation piece for child to describe what she saw and did. The book didn't miss a thing about the airport! Child still loves to read it!!!!

My 2-year old adores this book

I bought the book for our first airplane trip. Since then, my 2-year old asks to read it again and again and will even spend time on her own purusing it. Because of all the detail, it is a great book to keep a child busy on a flight/trip. Unlike the older Richard Scarrys, it shows males and females in non-traditional roles, which is a nice plus.

Will make airports more exciting for your kid

Apart from the usually brilliant, somewhat old-fashioned classic style of Richard Scarry, this book has the added value of being a brilliant travel companion. If you spend a lot of time in airports, you'll be pleased that your child will view the same old routines - check-in, security, boarding - with a lot more informed interest.

My 2 year old daughter LOVES this book!

Everytime we read this book about the airport, she notices something new. She points everything out to me and wants to read it over and over and over again.
