From Publishers Weekly

up in the air All the materials and information kids need to make 16 paper airplanes, and make them fly, are included in Kids' Paper Air Plane Book by Ken Blackburn and Jeff Lammers. Illustrated step-by-step instructions show exactly how to take the double-sided, color pages included in the back of the book and turn them into planes that look like a spider, a slice of pizza and a bat, as well as more typical aircraft. The book also includes a field guide to real planes, a log to record flight distances and ideas for activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book., March 25, 1999

By A Customer

I am a reading buddy at a local school. My little buddy didn't want to read, so I bought him this book. Now when I arrive, we read the instructions, make a plane and fly it. He looks forward to reading now and has learned how important it is to follow instructions as well as wanting to know how to use the index to look up his favorite plane, who the author is, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old-Fashioned Fun, January 11, 2002

By	Mother of three (Hartford, CT United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for my son at age 5. We have been enjoying it for over a year! There are many types of planes to "build." The book provides enough tear-out pages to build each plane twice. It's a great way to spend a little time with your kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, August 12, 2004

By	S. Barnes (Stillwater, OK United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I highly recommend this book. We bought this for our twin sons when they were 5, and then another copy to use as party favors when they turned 6. Now they need a third copy. Its great! Spend a few minutes with your kids, teach them to fold paper, and they will have a ball for hours.
