A nostalgic look at the days when children were allowed in plane cockpits. If I actually wanted a book to introduce a child to flying I’d look for something more modern.

The Tripp family is going on vacation and their are taking the plane. From packing, to loading the car, to unloading the bags, to check in, to going through the metal detector, onto boarding the plane, and then being on the actual flight, this is a good read for little ones about to take their first plane ride. This would also be a fun read for kids who just had their first flight as well.

A family is going on vacation and flying in a plane to get there.

This does a pretty good job giving young children a picture of what it is like to go on a plane trip. The only thing dated is mom having physical tickets before check in.

Havaalanında ve uçakta yaşanabilecek şeyleri gayet güzel bir dil ve çizimle anlatmışlar. Tavsiye ederim☺️

This book is excellent. This book has two separate versions which may be read independently or as a longer story. The version at the top of the page is a simple sentence version of the book and is approximately a first grade reading level. The version at the bottom of the page is a more complicated and detailed version of the book and is approximately a second or third grade reading level. A great way to read this book to a baby or toddler is to read only the top line. As the child gets older, read the bottom line as well. When the child starts to read, have them read the top line and you the bottom line. This will give them a great sense of accomplishment which is so important for success in reading. This is a book that can grow with your child. Don't forget to look for the duck on each page. Purchase this book at my Independent Consultant Website: www.ubah.com/s2995

This delightful series introduces very young children, in an amusing and friendly way, to situations they might find themselves in for the first time. A different family in each of the books discovers how to deal with these situations and what to expect of them. The colorful illustrations are packed with interesting and informative things for children to look for, talk about and learn about. And the simple vocabulary will enable slightly older children to read the books for themselves.

This is a fabulous book for our K1 Unit of Inquiry into transport, and children love choosing it in the library - it's a favourite! It's great for reading at home as it has two stories - a simple version and a more complex version, so you can adapt your reading of it to suit your child's vocabulary.

Slightly bland picture book that shows a family's plane trip in detail. There is a meal on board and the family shows their passports to officials, so they are obviously going to another country.

This book is good for traveling, and first tines. Before the holidays, you can read this book and talk to the students about how to be safe and follow rules.

Sık çıktığımız uçak yolculuklarına hazırlanmak için 2 yaşından beri okuduğumuz ideal bir kitap oldu!
