Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-- A quick survey of flying things, from insects to the Concorde, with short columns of text, supplemented by boxes of "Amazing Flying Facts" and small but clever color paintings, some on fold-out pages. The pop-up effects are uneven: the slotted circle purporting to show a bat in flight requires a gifted imagination (and will quickly be destroyed), but the tiger moth is clad in showy colors, and the dragonfly, which flaps its wings in alternate pairs, is brilliantly designed. Fragile, but good for display or demonstration. --John Peters, New York Public Library
