Little Red Plane (mini Max)
The little red plane is getting ready for takeoff. Load the last few pieces of luggage. Check the controls. And "up, up, and away!" What a day to fly!Young airplane buffs will undoubtedly love this highly interactive board book, even if the pull-tabs and flaps might be a tad tricky for the smallest fingers. Impressive technical details will require some explanation and definition for the toddler, but could inspire interesting and creative discussion ("Mommy, what's a Voltmeter set?" "What does 'remove the wheel chock' mean?"). The pilot's-eye view of the cockpit controls (complete with checklist and removable radio for contacting the control towers) gives readers a fascinating taste of flying an airplane all by themselves. This little picture book, with its bold colors and movable pieces, will make the next trip to the airport a whole new experience.For more large-vehicle fun, collect Ken Wilson-Max's three other interactive mini board books:Big Blue Engine,Little Green Tow Truck, andBig Silver Space Shuttle.
