Reviews

[Srujan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Large full page illustrations that take you through the doors of an airport and until you get on your plate at the gates. Since we liked Demolition and Roadworks by Sally Sutton, we got this and weren't disappointed.

We absolutely love this book. The illustrations are just like our trip through the airport recently. Great for talking through all the steps involved in catching a plane!

Has a nice "retro" feel to it even though the airport is modern. Rhyming text. Relevant to children who are travellers
