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 book is about a young boys first ever trip to an Airshow! 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 airshow - we are taking our daughter in May - she will be 10 months old - starting her off young!

Great read for very young kids
This is a great read for very young kids. Based in reality, it challenges their imagination and allows them to dream big.
