Rating: 1 out of 5

As a writer who works with early elementary literary specialists to develop  reading exercises for children I took an interest in this book when a friend suggested I read it and compare notes.Thank all of heaven the book was free.This is not any kind of thing is recommend for any child.  It is illustrated by clip art (which is a copyright violation) and the text blurbs following each image are filled with misinformation and anachronisms.Another reviewer mentioned the "Air Hostess" nonsense, so I probably don't need to mention that again but I will because it was ridiculous.My main concerns, however, are the scare tactics about security and plane maintenance.  The section about going through security starts off with "people have snuck dangerous things on planes in the past"--that's a great thing to tell a kid who may be nervous about flying.  It then talks about how we go through security to make sure nobody has a gun.  A little kid is going to think that somebody has a gun that made it through.  Because that's how kids' minds often work.Perhaps the most offensive part, however, is the very end.  The author concludes the story by telling the child how to go to Amazon (link included!) and leave a review.  5-star reviews are pictured, subliminally suggesting to the child reader that is the rating to give the book.Dreadful stuff.
