My First Plane Ride

Rating:
Summary: It seemed to fly okay.
Review: This book seems to be aimed at two distinct age groups. Children towards the top of the stated target range of 4-8 years might find the (small print) text interesting, while younger children would be more likely to enjoy lifting the flaps to see what's underneath.

I bought this to give my son a chance to get accustomed to the idea of flying. At 16 months, he enjoyed looking at the illustrations and lifting the flaps, but he had little patience for the text. Perhaps the book did make the trip a bit easier, but the trip also made the book more popular. After we returned, My First Plane Ride became one of his favorites.

There's a minor typo, though. The text talks about the plane arriving at "it's" gate. So far my son hasn't noticed. :)
