5.0 out of 5 stars Jet Alphabet Book, June 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Jet Alphabet Book (Hardcover)

My 2 year old son loves this book. He requests it and has "read" it over and over. He can pick out and name specific jets by their shape and color. Illustrations are realistic. Not only does this book show both capital and lower case letters, it also shows an example of jets that begin with each letter. Information about current and past jets, some history, and a little about how they work.

I bought this book for my airplane-aficionado son when he was far too young to appreciate all of the advanced details about the jets. No problem - it's a great book to go through, looking at the pictures, and reading just what each letter stands for, starting with "A is for Aerocomet". It was the best airplane book we've found for little kids. Now that he's five, I'm reading the whole thing, every word. It stands up better than most to repeated rereadings.

Our three year old carries this book everywhere. He is constantly flipping through the pages and looking at the jets. He can name all of the jets in the book. The book contains great photographs, and facts about each jet. I also recommend the Airplane Alphabet book. Buy them and add them to your child's collection. You won't be sorry.
