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.

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.

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.

All Aboard Airplanes is a great book! This book is what made me interested in airplanes. I now Know all sorts of facts about planes, and I want to be a pilot when I grow up. Plese buy this book for any plane loving child you know.

I read this book to my son almost everynight he just loves it.He can now name different type of airplanes just by looking at them. He's only Three.

We now have most of the little kid airplane books. This one is nice because the illustrations are all watercolor painted (or atleast looks like it). It is easier to relate to this than the canned airplane and airport images in a few other books. Some of the illustrations are rich and come alive with nice words and in the hands of a fascinated toddler. It covers most common airplane types and some interesting subdivisions like mail planes and executive jets.
Love it. Strongly recommended.

I purchased this book for a mentally disabled adult and he loved it, especially with all the pictures of the different models of airplanes. Thank you Amazon.

Lots of fun for little ones - great gift idea for a future pilot, or to fill a shelf in baby aviator nursery!

This was also a great discovery book of planes and flying for my grandsons.Airport

As you read this excellent book to them, remind the children of the heros who flew the bombers, fighters, and used their guns to secure the glorious future your kids are enjoying in America and the free world today.
