Review:

"...an uplifting story": Bucks Herald "The colour illustrated tale includes information on what the different parts of an aeroplane are used for as well as putting some flying jargon into terms which are easily digestible by children." Flyer "... an instructive tale of aviational derring-do and the-little-guy-that-wins that also serves as an accurate primer for tinies into the ways of flight. With the ever increasing numbers of free-flight kids appearing on the scene, such a book is a welcome departure from the usual children's book fare...the story also serves as a simple but instructive text on how flying folk go about their business, illustrated with extremely good watercolour images on every page. A cutaway picture shows (accurately!) the rudimentary workings of the aeroplane and a glossary gives basic aviation terminology. Similar in style and at least as endearing as all those books about a certain tank engine and his friends, the refreshing thing about this story is that it's about real flying and it's written by a pilot. ...a great hit. My No. 1 nipper ... was as enthralled as I've ever seen her with any book ... I hope that more are to come ..." Sky Wings
