Flying: A Bright and Colorful Picture Book About a Plane Journey for Children (Ages 4-8) Paperback – Picture Book, October 26, 1989

A simple colorful, easy book to share with toddlers. Any Crew’s books is wonderful!

Our family has several of Crews' books, including "Freight Train," "Inside Freight Train," "Truck," and "Flying." Our son adores them all. They may seem simple to adults' eyes, but something about these books really captures a child's imagination. Perfect for a young toddler, this book tells the story of a plane trip with only a few words per page. It's great for helping a 1-3 year-old child understand air travel (e.g., the idea that people use planes to get from one location to another.)If your child is familiar with Crews' other books, he or she will delight in finding that the rainbow-colored train from "Freight Train" and the red semi truck from "Truck" make a cameo appearance in this book, hidden in plain sight among all the other tiny cars, trucks, and houses on the ground as the plane flies across the sky.

Donald Crewes is one of the most exciting cb illustrators in the world. His work is very direct and bold, appealing to little kids.

Book came in good condition. Simple text and illustrations. Good introduction to vocabulary associated with flight.

All his books are great for little minds to see vivid pictures.

Combine this book and Airport by Byron Barton and your 2 year old will be set for an airplane ride to Nana's house! Simple with nice clean illustrations. Subtle references to other awesome Donald Crews's books, like Freight Train and Truck

Our son (1-1/2 yrs.) loves, loves, loves this book - although he is big into planes anyway. Only a few words in the book (Boarding, Taxiing, etc.), but I think that just adds to the charm of (and fixes the focus on) the evocative illustrations. Nice to see some diversity among the characters too.

Cute simple book I got to use in Toddler Storytime. The kids liked it.

Very simple but captivating for our 1 year old. Helped get him ready for his first flight, he now wants to go to the airport again!
