Brief text and illustrations present a variety of airplanes and what they do.

Presents a bird's-eye view of the first airplanes, the fastest jet planes, beetles, birds, winged horses, flying dragons, and even winged unicorns.

Presents an introductory look at the world of flying, from the first manned flight, early gliders, monoplanes, and biplanes, to the high-powered jetliners, jet planes, and helicopters that travel the world today.

Rhyming text introduces air travel, from the airport to the flight deck, with information about how planes fly, safety rules, in-flight entertainment, and air traffic control.

An airplane taking off and disappearing into the clouds is a remarkable sight. It's like a bird's flight taken to a new level. In fact, only the Ruppell's griffon vulture can fly as high, at heights above 30,000 feet! This title will get beginning readers off the ground and soaring.
