My son Devon loves this nice little Tonka book by Scholastic. The book starts out what a helicopter pilot introducing himself, telling how he flies the rescue helicopter. He shows how the levers work to make the plane go up and down, sideways and to even hover in place. While the pilot is telling about the chopper, he gets a call from the emergency dispatcher. There is a fire, someone is injured, the rescue helicopter gets them to the hospital. Oh no, a girl has falling off a cruise ship. Again the emergency helicopter is called into action. Then, when this emergency is handled, again the helicopter is called to duty, a hurricane has devastated a community, and so it goes as still another emergency is taken care of, then another. This is a perfect book if you have a little boy, or even a girl. Tonka builds great toys, they make great books too.
