A good informational book about flying. I remember putting Jake on an airplane to go meet his cousin in Colorado. He loved it he was about 10

This is a little book to make flying seem exciting. A little boy takes his first flight all by himself. It's a wonderful experience.

Blech!

First of all, things are dated. You think you'll get a tour of the cockpit today? Mom and Dad make it to the gate without a ticket? Things have changed. But the big problem with this book is that it is unrealistic. Flying is not a comfortable, homey experience. Airplanes are merely buses with wings. Show e that in a book!

I'm kind of surprised this book is still as applicable as it is. Sure, it's dated and most parents wouldn't let their child's first flight be solo, but I'm sure it'd be a pretty nice book for kids worried about their first flight.
