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.
