Angela's Airplane

These are cute tiny books. My daughter likes them because they are easy to hold and take places. The story is cute, another crazy story from one of our favorite authors. :o)

I bought this one for my niece, because she looks a little like the protagonist and they have similar names. Both my nieces like this one, probably because it's so absurd. Angela inadvertently, at the age of five, steals an airplane. With help from the tower she manages to land... sorta... well, they say any landing you walk away from is a good landing! At the end, we're told that she grew up to become an airplane pilot, a fitting career. The whole scenario, especially the dialog, is absurdly unrealistic, and it has my nieces in stitches every time. After all, if you or I crashed a plane, you can bet our dad would do more than just ask us to promise not to do it again! I can't recommend this one enough. Edit: Please note that this edition of the book, the "Annikins" edition, is a specially small version of the book, as explained in the product information.

It is a very book about transportation. It is funny! And the kids like it.

In this book a little girl, Angela, makes an airplane fly as a result of her urges to keep pushing buttons. My son adores this book. He loves to tell Angela that its ok to push just one more button. It shows him how doing simple things like pushing buttons can have big effects. Of course its a fun lesson to learn from this book.
