From Booklist:

Joining the author and illustrators’ previous titles in the Things that Go! series, this picture book features rhyming text and animated, whimsical art that will delight young would-be jet-setters. Each page zooms with busy planes: a cargo plane filled with circus performers, a bunny-driven crop-duster, a few military planes, a vintage-style banner-puller, and even miniature model planes that whiz and buzz. . . . The ending, which brings the activity level down, is equally well suited for storytimes or bedtimes: Planes fly North, South, East, and West. They do their jobs./Then they rest. The lively, descriptive prose, often playfully arranged on the page, incorporates peppy sounds that amp up the energy that’s echoed in the vibrant illustrations. Original drawings, clip art, maps, and etchings blend in rich color and textures and invite scrutiny with diverse perspectives, layouts, and playful little details: a fish-piloted hydroplane; a ram in a jumbo-jet window seat; and, finally, planes snoozing in their hangar at the book’s close. An engaging presentation of the ever-popular subject. Preschool-Grade 2. --Shelle Rosenfeld
