I was so happy when I saw this picture book show up in our new piles of books! It's by the author that did the also-excellent Trucks Roll! and I am super stoked to see this one. Oddly enough, there are simply not that many good picture books about planes and flight. Considering it's a yearly rite of passage for many kids going to see relatives, and considering that picture books are a perfect conduit for illustrating new concepts and introducing new activities to kids, I'm always staggered that I have so much trouble finding good airplane travel books. This one has a few niggles; I don't love it quite as much as I do Trucks Roll!, but it's solid and catchy, and very much welcome.
