Amazing Machines: Amazing Aeroplanes - Softcover

Join a wacky animal crew for the flight of a lifetime! From check-in and take-off, to in-flight entertainment and landing, this book takes children on an aeroplane journey. How a plane flies, safety rules, and air traffic control are all explained in jolly rhyming text. An audio CD attached to the inside back cover allows children to listen to the story and follow along with page turn cues. This popular picture book series makes learning about vehicles more fun than ever before. Each of the "Amazing Machines" picture books features lively rhyming text and bold, bright pictures of fun animal characters. A picture dictionary at the back of every book helps build vocabulary. Four "Amazing Machines" with CD will be published in June 2007, and a further six titles will be published in October 2007.
