I Fly

by Anne Rockwell

From the exhilaration of take-off to the joy of seeing one's family at the arrival gate, here is an ideal book to prepare a child for his or her first airline flight--solo or en famille . Anne Rockwell, beloved author of many popular children's books on transportation, takes readers on a typical flight, describing in fascinating detail the many sights, sounds, and feelings of the journey from a young traveler's point of view. Annette Cable's ( Me on the Map ) detailed and vibrant illustrations perfectly complement the child-friendly text while her bird's-eye views show the earth spread out like a giant patchwork quilt.

Not our favorite right now (too many words), but definitely one to return to before my first airplane ride! ✈️

This is a good book to read before a child's first flight. The main character is a veteran flyer. She goes to her cousins house. She explains what happens, who is on the plane and more. I wish I had read this before I took my trip a few weeks ago. The illustrations are bright and colorful.

Little boy travels on a plane. Fantastic details. Can't recall the last time peanuts were served on a flight, but kids will get the idea that "snack" happens in planes too.
