The Big Book of Airplanes (DK Big Books)

Its a very big book, very informative too. The illustrations brings it to life.

it is perfect for people who want to learn basic stuff about airplanes

My 3-year old grandson is totally into planes, helicopters, etc. He LOVES this book. Fantastic pictures and some good tidbits of information. He likes it when we look at it together, but he also just likes to sit on the couch and look at all the pictures. I highly recommend this book for the toddler/pre-schooler in your life who is really into flying "machines" of all kinds!

Attractive and sturdy. Good for kids.

The pictures are fun and there is lots of information, but some information was lacking or not exactly correct. My son loves the book. So if you are looking for a fun kids book and you don't have someone in the family that knows everything about airplanes than this is perfect.

My 2-1/2 year old son loves to "read" this book, and I enjoy reading it to him. The text is definitely written to an older child (I would say that a child would have to be in at least second grade before reading it on his or her own). Fortunately, there are enough snippets of information that an adult can tailor the words to fit the child as she or he reads aloud. The photos, though, are what make this book so attractive. Each type of aircraft (to include experimental aircraft, Chinook helicopters, and future space-shuttle-like craft)has a two-page spread of photos in this oversized book. Most types feature at least three photos: one from the side, one from directly in front (the SR-71 Blackbird and the jumbo jet are particularly striking!) and one from the rear. Every type of aircraft has a photo taken while flying. My young son is learning that jet planes don't have propellers and that rocket engines look different from jet engines. Of course, at first, he was more interested in the striking colors of the aircraft chosen for the photos, but this book allows him to grow. He has a while yet before he learns "it all", unlike some of the other airplane books for young children. An enthusiastic thumbs up!

Bought for 6 yr old grandson. He loved it.

A mis hijos les gustó mucho

It's an excellent book with great illustrations.

My son loves the book. Gives a good introduction to different types of planes for starters.

Nice pictures ans content, my son love it!!

This book was for part of a topic at school about flying, the sky etc. . It is a lovely book and complemented the topic well. Great for teaching non-fiction, brilliant pictures, really engaging!
