Byron Barton's Planes "will delight the youngest, and have enough meat for older preschoolers and beginning readers."— Kirkus Reviews Supports the Common Core State Standards Review: A Current Frontrunner - Somewhere after 6 mo, "Boats" fell out of favor and "Planes" took its place as the most favorite book from our limited transportation and machine set (Boats, Planes, Trains, Machines at Work). I'm rather fond of all of these books, mostly for the illustrations which I like very much, bold blocks of color outlined in heavy, black line. Planes isn't Elsie's (8 mo) current favorite book, it's somewhere after Dinosaur Dinosaur and My Car, and somewhere ahead of Barnyard Dance and Sheep in a Jeep, but it definitely makes the list! Like Barton's other books, Planes is a sturdy board book with lovely, bold, vivid, and simple illustrations accompanying very simple text. Elsie's favorite pictures are of the orange jetplane on the blue sky, and of the people getting on and off of the plane. Often she'll let me read it through the first time, then want it again, but turn through quickly herself until she gets to her favorite pages, which she either studies carefully or hits vigorously, depending on her mood. She is certainly interested. I like all of these books for reading to babies, and recommend the board books, even if they aren't lap-sized prints. They're the same size as my other board books, and that seems big enough for Elsie. Any word from other readers on whether or not any pages were omitted in the board book version of this book? I'm curious about it. Review: Great little board book - Board book makes it very easy for little hands to manipulate, and helps them learn how to turn pages. Story is very simple and has primary colors for visual interest. The story generally follows a passenger jet, but introduces various other aircraft on each page (helicopter, float plane, etc.). Overall great little book that my sons and daughter have enjoyed, and has helped them learn to read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #43,185 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #54 in Children's Planes & Aviation Books #71 in Children's Aeronautics & Space Books (Books) #77 in Children's How Things Work Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 888 Reviews | ## Images ![Planes: Seaplanes, crop dusters, and sky-writing planes take flight in simple text and vibrant art for curious kids ages 0-4 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X-BE01sIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Current Frontrunner *by K***N on July 26, 2010* Somewhere after 6 mo, "Boats" fell out of favor and "Planes" took its place as the most favorite book from our limited transportation and machine set (Boats, Planes, Trains, Machines at Work).
