5.0 out of 5 stars Great for young kids interested in any machine that takes you places!, February 20, 2007
By Angela J. Zaev "LadybugAZ" (Greater DC Region) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
More than a book about airplanes, this fascinating book is full of great illustrations, curious questions and fun facts. Kids are indeed curious about the world around us and this book will certainly spark their interest in the "world" of transportation. Kids will learn about planes, trains, cars, pioneering wagon trains, how goods are transported in the Australian outback, even about boats and the very first submarine ever built.
