COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 1 A family goes to the local air show, then heads to the airport to watch passenger and military planes load luggage and assorted cargo, and finally boards a small prop plane for a ride. Rhyming text describes the sounds of and uses for a variety of aircraft. Bright and uncluttered illustrations in gouache are pleasing to the eye and perfect for engaging children in the story. Following in the jet trails of the pair's "A Train Goes Clickety-Clack"(2007) and "A Truck Goes Rattley-Bumpa"(2005, both Holt), this title will be a hit with young transportation fans.-"Janet Weber, Tigard Public Library, OR" Copyright 2010 Media Source Inc.
Young listeners will enjoy this accessible celebration of airplanes and flight: "A plane's flaps slide. / A plane's engines ROAR! / A plane's lights twinkle. / A plane's wings soar." There's lots to look at in the clean, bright gouache illustrations following a happy family from their home to an air show to a ride up into the sky.
