A flap book that offers a glimpse behind the scenes of a hustling-bustling busy airport. It features flaps beneath flaps, spinning wheels and miniature fold-out booklets. It lets young readers follow the helter-skelter journey of the luggage from check-in to the plane, how a plane prepares for take-off and what people do in the control towers.
