We told Josiah to find a book in the house he thought he could read.
I'm not sure if my description of tonight's reading of Airport will give it justice, but I have to try. With its large font, it's also a good choice for a beginning reader.įor ages 3 to 6, transportation, travel, airplane themes, and fans of Byron Barton. Airport is a great selection for a transportation or airplane storytime or read aloud. The illustrations and text should spark discussion of airplanes, airports and the people who work there. The bustle of a busy airport is well captured and conveyed. They also show other details not addressed in the text: bags being brought into the terminal, the check-in line, a X-ray scanner and metal detector, fuel trucks, baggage handling vehicles, an interior shot of the aircraft, and the boarding extension walkway. It covers the basics of waiting, boarding, safety announcements and takeoff, whie also mentioning the loading of the plane, the pilots, flight attendants and control tower.īarton's illustrations help convery the information clearly.
It is a good guide for younger children about to take an airplane trip. The text is simple and concise yet precisely informative. Once the control tower tells the pilot, "All clear for takeoff.", the plane roars down the runway fast, then goes up in the air. The flight attendant has everyone buckle their seatbelts as the plane slowly rolls toward the runway. The control tower radios the pilots when all is clear. People then board the plane and find their seats, while the pilots get ready up in the cockpit.
They arrive in the waiting room, while the plane is loaded with suitcases and fuel. It starts with people arriving at the airport in buses and cars to fly on a jet plane. Airport by Byron Barton by is a great book for younger children about the airport, and the people and processes that go into an airplane trip.
