4.0 out of 5 stars Great intro book with engaging illustrations, May 21, 2004

By	Allison D "Allison D" (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

My 3 1/2 year old asks for this book at bedtime almost every night. I do have to change the words a little in the section on the Wright Flyer since it says "almost 100 years ago" and we have passed the century mark since the book was published. Also, I've practically memorized the text and sometimes shorten the names of the planes because they are so long and cumberson. I admire the accuracy, but it's not necessary for a preshooler. I like the illustrations in this book and it's just the right length for a bedtime "story." Great for little boys or girls who love planes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun pictures but more appropriate for older kids, March 11, 2004

By A Customer

My 3-1/2 year old was immediately hooked by the cover of this book. The great pictures make it his current favorite, but I wish I had read it before making my purchase. The copy includes words that I do not think are age-appropriate for him such as "bomber," wartime," "fighter," and "enemy." When he is older and has developed reading and comprehension skills I think the book will be okay, but for now I edit parts of the text as I read to my son.
