The Airport Book
Lisa Brown
ISBN: 9781626720916
Diverse cast of characters progress through a trip by airplane.
This is a fun little picture book, with scenes very similar to the Richard Scarry "busy book" style of lots of vignettes scattered throughout the page, all of which progress through the story in the background behind the narrated main story.
Another excellent resource for storytime, and one I'll pair up with Miss Mouse Takes Off (Jan Ormerod) and hope to find a third that focuses on the travel aspect instead of on the "oooh lookit the cool plane" approach.
If you use this for storytime, be aware that there's really no good way to incorporate all the back-stories into the front-loaded narrative, and that's a bit of a shame, but at least it gets the book in front of them, and they can always check it out afterwards and learn about all the sub-stories at home with their parents.
