Books About Planes
What parents are saying: “We found this one very useful for our girl before a trip. She got really excited about planes after that.”
What parents are saying: “I happened to get a copy of Maisy Goes on a Plane by Lucy Cousins a few weeks before we took our daughter on her first plane ride and I highly recommend it! She loved it and it hit all the highlights of the experience such that we could reference it as we went through it. ‘Remember how Maisy went through security?’ ‘Remember how Maisy’s plane went up up and away?’ etc.”
What parents are saying: “We bought [this] before a big trip with my older one and he was very excited to board the plane.”
What parents are saying: “There's also ‘Airport Sticker Book’ by Margot Channing about the airport that has kept my kids excited about and occupied on planes.”
