Wonderful gift

2008-08-07
This book was a christmas gift for a young boy who loves planes and wants to be a pilot. He's also learning English as a second language. This book was the perfect inspiration for a 12 year old! Very colorful, informative, and a good mix of the old and the new.

Lots of beautiful pictures

Bought this for our 5 year old and he loves it. It has plenty of beautiful color pictures. We found it great because the pictures are so clear and sharp, my son loves to look at all the airplane details. If your child is a airplane fan, this is a great book. It's a larger (height) book, so doesn't fit on a book shelf that's not sized larger. The only complaint that I have is that I wish it had more pages with even more pictures! My son didn't want the book to end!

Great book!

My 2 year old son is already heavy into airplanes and he LOVES this book. (This is the only non-board book I let him handle and he is so careful with this prized possession!) It's nice that there are snipets of information about each plane on the page so we learn a lot without having to read through paragraphs of text. It's great because as he gets older we can delve even deeper into the details of each plane. We both know so much more about planes than before picking up this book. Highly recommend!

As a 70 year old, I was so fascinated with this Big Book of Airplanes while at the dentist's office that I have since sent one to my grandson for Christmas and recently purchased a second one for a neighbor boy and a third one for myself.

A Beautiful Book!

This book is such a great treat to read with my 4-year old plane-crazy son. The photos are so clean and uncluttered. There's a ton of information, so this book would be great for older kids as well. From this book alone, my son has learned so much. We recently visited the Air museum in Chantilly, VA, and he ran around naming the different planes. As soon as we walked in, he said "A Blackbird!". Super book!

Great photos; interesting text

Imaginations will soar! From the fastest--and noisiest--passenger plane in the world, to downright strange aircraft, here is a spectacular look at a subject of endless fascination to children. Marvel at one of the first planes to blast into space! Learn about a plane that can land on water. And take a close look at the fastest of all jet planes, the Blackbird. Striking photographs are supported by lively and informative text that gives children a fuller understanding of these amazing machines.

This book is designed for children, but will appeal to anyone with an interest in aviation. The photos are clean and show the planes, helicopters and spacecraft well. The information provided for each aircraft is easy for children to read and understand.
