4.0 out of 5 stars
I love this one,
By Ulyyf "Connie" (NYC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Angela's Airplane (Annikins) (Paperback)
I bought this one for my niece, because she looks a little like the protagonist and they have similar names. Both my nieces like this one, probably because it's so absurd.
Angela inadvertently, at the age of five, steals an airplane. With help from the tower she manages to land... sorta... well, they say any landing you walk away from is a good landing! At the end, we're told that she grew up to become an airplane pilot, a fitting career. The whole scenario, especially the dialog, is absurdly unrealistic, and it has my nieces in stitches every time. After all, if you or I crashed a plane, you can bet our dad would do more than just ask us to promise not to do it again! I can't recommend this one enough. Edit: Please note that this edition of the book, the "Annikins" edition, is a specially small version of the book, as explained in the product information.

This review is from: Angela's Airplane (Annikins) (Paperback)
This is not a full-size book! The product description does not explain that the (Annikins) book is a tiny little 3"x3" book.

Congratulations, you just purchased smallest book ever!,

This review is from: Angela's Airplane (Annikins) (Paperback)
The story is great but I feel cheated when a sticky-note sized book is all that arrives. Since I have never seen a book this small, I believe that it should be made clear that it is only about 3x3 inches. Amazon should be careful about getting a reputation for allowing its customers to have that I just got taken feeling at the end of a transaction.
