If your preschooler is about to take his or her first airplane trip, here's the ideal way of preparing the way so there's no pre-flight jitters or flying fright.
This lift-the-flaps novelty board book walks your child through the entire adventure, from boarding to takeoff and an eventual safe landing.
In the cockpit, you see Captain Bright make sure everything works right, and then he tells Copilot Snow, "Looks like we are good to go!" Cleared for takeoff by the control tower, the big jet sweeps into the air and is on its way.
Up in the cockpit, the pilot checks the radar to see what's ahead and avoid any bumpy weather or turbulence. When it's time to prepare to land, the co-pilot says, "We're not even late! Thank you, thank you, Captain Bright for a safe and happy flight!"
Although I think this book is a good way of overcoming any angst about flying your child might have, I have one issue with the illustrations. Although the plane is continually referred to as a "jet", it has a propeller attached to its nose. Come on, now! There's no reason to confuse the toddler and use an inaccurate illustration. It may be a minor detail, but it is one someone should have caught - I know a lot of savvy parents will.
