This is a fun read for all ages. This book explores amazing world of aviation with humor and presents complex ideas in a way that is easy to follow. The silly illustrations are not only colorful but guide understanding. Some of the fun things discussed in this book are How Wings work, Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machines, what does the shape of airplane has to do with flying, and who invented the controllable airplane. We like the colorful boxes that jump off the page with fun tidbits. Did you know that hummingbird can flap its wings up to 80 times a second? I can only manage five and that’s after practicing all day. Read more about airplane books for kids and their parents here http://www.kidminds.org/2015/08/airpl...
