I really enjoyed the writing style and topic sequence of the book.  Meant to be read by a child (or a parent and child together), it flows really well from packing to going to the airport, check-in, boarding, takeoff, landing, and all the steps in-between.  The author’s sense of humor and the sprinkling of kid jokes make this a very kid-friendly fun read.Filled with photographs of people, places, and situations (rather than illustrations), the lessons are brought home with a sense of up to date realism.What makes this book special is that the author deals with the feelings of excitement, possible anxiety, and the internal fears that a child may be experiencing throughout the travel process.  At the end is something you rarely see in a child’s book, an FAQ section of questions that most children will have, and of course the answers in very reassuring tones.The author even goes the extra step of listing and describing all the people a child traveler is likely to encounter along the way.  More than a first plane trip book, this book builds the foundation for a lifetime of traveling with a sense of adventure and fun.
