I Love Planes! by Philomen Sturges, illustrated by Shari Halpern
Rating: 4 stars
I have a great friend who is completely addicted to Alexander McCall Smith's books. Every time she sends out an update about what books she's read/is reading on the book group/website thingy we both belong to, one or two of his books are in there, with an apology (to whom? I'm not sure!) that she knows she should stop but she just can't help herself! They are so good! There are so many! She just can't stop!
Well, I finally understand.
These books are so good! There are so many! We just can't stop! (Ok, there are actually not over a hundred, though I wish there were. I think there are 8 or so.)
These are quickly becoming equals to our Byron Barton favorites! I really wish that they came in board books--if they did, I would definitely be buying them for a bunch of first birthdays for little boys. The drawings and text and rhymes are so appropriate for a 1 or 2 year-old, and are the perfect little books to help kids get interested in books. Because who doesn't love looking up in the sky to see if it's a helicopter or jet or Blue Angel or little propeller plane flying over us?! I still do.
If you've got a little guy (or girl!) who is 2ish years old, just check out every single one of these. We grab one or two every time we go to the library--sometimes they are new ones, and sometimes we've read them before. It's like seeing an old friend, or being excited to meet a new one!
