5.0 out of 5 stars My son loves this book, February 5, 2001

This review is from: All Aboard Airplanes (Reading Railroad) (Paperback)

I have a 2 -1/2 year old who is fascinated by airplanes. he has been on over 30 flights himself and loves everything about flying. I found this book and he wants me to read it to him all the time. Not only is it fun, but it is informative, actually giving names of real planes from the first flight of the Wright Brothers through to the Space Shuttle. I will buy more from this series since they are so good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great intro book with engaging illustrations, May 21, 2004

By 

Allison (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All Aboard Airplanes (Reading Railroad) (Paperback)

My 3 1/2 year old asks for this book at bedtime almost every night. I do have to change the words a little in the section on the Wright Flyer since it says "almost 100 years ago" and we have passed the century mark since the book was published. Also, I've practically memorized the text and sometimes shorten the names of the planes because they are so long and cumberson. I admire the accuracy, but it's not necessary for a preshooler. I like the illustrations in this book and it's just the right length for a bedtime "story." Great for little boys or girls who love planes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun pictures but more appropriate for older kids, March 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: All Aboard Airplanes (Reading Railroad) (Paperback)

My 3-1/2 year old was immediately hooked by the cover of this book. The great pictures make it his current favorite, but I wish I had read it before making my purchase. The copy includes words that I do not think are age-appropriate for him such as "bomber," wartime," "fighter," and "enemy." When he is older and has developed reading and comprehension skills I think the book will be okay, but for now I edit parts of the text as I read to my son.
