Book Description

Amazon.com Review
The little red plane is getting ready for takeoff. Load the last few pieces of luggage. Check the controls. And "up, up, and away!" What a day to fly!
Young airplane buffs will undoubtedly love this highly interactive board book, even if the pull-tabs and flaps might be a tad tricky for the smallest fingers. Impressive technical details will require some explanation and definition for the toddler, but could inspire interesting and creative discussion ("Mommy, what's a Voltmeter set?" "What does 'remove the wheel chock' mean?"). The pilot's-eye view of the cockpit controls (complete with checklist and removable radio for contacting the control towers) gives readers a fascinating taste of flying an airplane all by themselves. This little picture book, with its bold colors and movable pieces, will make the next trip to the airport a whole new experience.
For more large-vehicle fun, collect Ken Wilson-Max's three other interactive mini board books: Big Blue Engine, Little Green Tow Truck, and Big Silver Space Shuttle. (Baby to Preschool) --Emilie Coulter
From Publishers Weekly
Even the Wright brothers might have applauded the snazzy paper engineering in this die-cut book, a literal flight of fancy. Pull-tabs and flaps let armchair aviators guide a red, twin-propellor beauty from takeoff ("Check the wing flaps... remove the wheel chock") to landing. Among the clever touches here: as readers shift a steering wheel from side to side, the view through the windshield shifts, too; a cardboard microphone is attached via a cord to the cockpit's radio; fastened by a similar cord, the nozzle of a refueling truck fits into the plane's gas tank. Wilson-Max's text strikes just the right blend of precision and exuberance ("Whee! It's a beautiful day for flying") and his vibrant artwork, with its boldly outlined, chunky images, suggests the work of an airborne Lucy Cousins. Altogether first-class. Ages 3-6.

My daughter's favorite book,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Little Red Plane (Hardcover)
My daughter received this book for her 4th birthday. She loves the moving parts of the plane and all the action. She reads it to herself now that she is learning to read. I highly recommend this book for all children from ages 2-6. Younger children may damage the moving pieces quickly.

Get Ready to Read this Book Many Times!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Little Red Plane (Hardcover)
My 20 month old son LOVES this book. We received a used copy of it from a friend. The copy has been read so many times that I had to order a new one. This book gets the child physically involved in the activities of the plane: fueling, flying, loading luggage, and more. I highly recommend this book for young children. Especially boys.
