*Planes Fly!* by George Ella Lyon, illustrated by Mick Wiggins
Planes Fly!
by George Ella Lyon, illustrated by Mick Wiggins
Ages 4-6 40 pages Atheneum July 2013 Hardcover    

Any child fascinated by airplanes will enjoy paging through this picture book that features different types of airplanes. The rhymed text begins
Planes have engines
planes have wings
lifted by the air that sings.
Next are a few early bi-planes and tri-planes as well as a streamlined jet.

In addition to picturing various types of flying machines, the author takes the young reader into the cockpit of a passenger jet and also up to the tower, where planes are controlled as they arrive or depart at the airport.

Seaplanes, firefighting bombers and the president’s plane, Air Force One, are also pictured along with the interior of a big passenger plane and people saying good-bye to the aircraft’s captain as they deplane.
