Airshow

This book is about a young boys first ever trip to an airs how! It has some lovely images and was really nice and bright and it is easy to follow. It is a really nice book, I can still remember going to my first air show - we are taking our daughter in May - she will be 10 months old - starting her off young!

Smallest kid in the family doesn’t know what an air show is when Dad says they should go. They try to explain about helicopters and jets and so on (then he trips over the dog). He doesn’t want to go because the descriptions make him think of monsters; guess no one had photos or the internet to show him.
There’s a great shot of him gazing skyward in wonder from the backseat of the car as they approach the show. Some of the aircraft are lovingly rendered, especially the fighters with animal faces painted on the front. There’s even an Osprey, everything done in bright watercolor.
I loved the helicopter pilot. It’s a short kids’ story, but she still stood out. The book was well told; it might have even been the author’s story of how he became a pilot.
As a bonus, there’s a list of airplanes featured throughout the book at the end.

This was a really great children's book which wonderfully showcased the day of fun a family can have at the air show. It also highlights how children have a great imagination and dreams of becoming whatever they wish in the future. This book shows that girls and boys can be anything as long as they have the will and determination to meet their goals and make their dreams happen. The brother and sister are having a lot of fun, and the parents encourage them to ask many questions and follow their dreams even if only for a day.
