PreS-Gr 1 Slegers asks readers to step into the cockpit of a passenger plane on its flight to a far-off country. The story examines various aspects of what a pilot does and how air travel works, including a look at the airport's control tower and a simplified explanation of how planes are able to take flight. The rudimentary illustrations use bright colors, soft shapes, and defined lines to present a friendly and safe glimpse at the life of a pilot. One factor that libraries may want to take into consideration is that all of the characters depictedpilot, passengers, and creware white. The layout is consistent. Each page contains several lines of text, and some illustrations are labeled, including a description of the pilot's uniform. The level of the text and style of the illustrations make this one best suited to be read aloud to toddlers and preschoolers. While some early elementary students may enjoy exploring the text independently, there is sufficiently challenging vocabulary, such as altimeter and fuel indicator , that some guidance from an adult may be necessary. VERDICT A title best shared aloud with very young children. New readers will find the amount of text and new vocabulary challenging, while independent readers and older elementary students may not be as engaged with the simple illustrations.— Kelly Topita, Anne Arundel County Public Library, MD
"A great book for a toddler that is interested in planes or about to go on their first flight." - The Overly Attached Reader The pilot flies the airplane, along with his co-pilot. He has to make sure the passengers arrive safely. That's why he has to keep an eye on things like the altitude and the plane's speed during the flight. The airport control towers that he passes over tell him how and where he has to take off, fly and land. An instructive, engaging picture book for children about airline pilots.
