[Franklyn Kornn]

Really amazing book to use for research or just learning about airplanes. This book will teach you how to fly a 747. This book has a lot of academic vocabulary specific to planes and flight, as well as a pilots handbook. Great tool to use in your classroom. Students could summarize or write a how to paper over this book.

Pull-out charts, poster, model and stickers ... I'm ready to fly! If I'd never had a son I may never have enjoyed this little 'In Control' book .
