Fun colors, not the learning tool I had hoped for

Fun colors, not the learning tool I had hoped for
I was looking for a board book for the child that I care for that simply shows what a plane is and fun facts about them. I have yet to find such a book and after buying two, I’ve decided to end my search. He still likes the colors in the book and learning about what each object is, but plane “anatomy” isn’t in the book at all.

Wonderful book for toddlers who like airplanes. Our girls love this book and enjoy finding the helicopter and other aircraft.
Very colorful, clear and well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little board book
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2022

Board book makes it very easy for little hands to manipulate, and helps them learn how to turn pages. Story is very simple and has primary colors for visual interest. The story generally follows a passenger jet, but introduces various other aircraft on each page (helicopter, float plane, etc.). Overall great little book that my sons and daughter have enjoyed, and has helped them learn to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Current Frontrunner
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2010

Somewhere after 6 mo, "Boats" fell out of favor and "Planes" took its place as the most favorite book from our limited transportation and machine set (Boats, Planes, Trains, Machines at Work). I'm rather fond of all of these books, mostly for the illustrations which I like very much, bold blocks of color outlined in heavy, black line.

Planes isn't Elsie's (8 mo) current favorite book, it's somewhere after Dinosaur Dinosaur and My Car, and somewhere ahead of Barnyard Dance and Sheep in a Jeep, but it definitely makes the list!

Like Barton's other books, Planes is a sturdy board book with lovely, bold, vivid, and simple illustrations accompanying very simple text. Elsie's favorite pictures are of the orange jetplane on the blue sky, and of the people getting on and off of the plane. Often she'll let me read it through the first time, then want it again, but turn through quickly herself until she gets to her favorite pages, which she either studies carefully or hits vigorously, depending on her mood. She is certainly interested.

I like all of these books for reading to babies, and recommend the board books, even if they aren't lap-sized prints. They're the same size as my other board books, and that seems big enough for Elsie.

Any word from other readers on whether or not any pages were omitted in the board book version of this book? I'm curious about it.

Dad builds airplanes and this is a must read every night. Not my choice... baby insists. Pages are high contrast and strong color theme. Words are simple and sentences short and quick. He's 18m and still requesting it nightly since 12m old

This kids picture book about airplanes is a simple read. Recommended for first time flyers. The colorful illustrations depict various airplanes, and is especially appropriate for airport travel. This one is a classic for a reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book for toddler airplane enthusiasts!
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2020

This is a lovely, simple book for very young kids who just want to have fun pointing at and identifying the different types of planes and vehicles. Paypayne! (Airplane). Seapayne! (Seaplane). Heycoco! (Helicopter). There are also a couple pages that have trucks on them, servicing the airplanes or driving into the cargo jet, so there's also the added joy of truck spotting. They do a good job of coloring the different vehicles mostly one single color, so you can also talk about the purple truck, the red helicopter, etc.

Nice graphics but not something I or my kid could get into. The idea of planes writing messages in the air is a bit hard to comprehend, the way it was put across.
