I love this book because it features a loving (and frazzled) family with a white mom, black dad, and two mixed kids. My son loves this book because OH MY GOSH IT ILLUSTRATES EVERY SINGLE PART OF TRAVELING BY PLANE AND CAN WE READ IT AGAIN FOR THE SEVENTH TIME IN A ROW? Seriously, there was a period when he was particularly obsessed with air travel when this was the only book he wanted to read, and it is a testament to the readability of this book that I do not hate it with every fiber of my being. We have brought this book on every single plane trip our son has taken since this book was purchased and acted out the nuances of air travel portrayed in the book approximately 47 times (that is my realistic estimate). The illustrations are incredibly detailed and allow you to follow the trip not only of the family at the center of the book, but many of the other passengers as well.
(For awhile, this book was our go-to birthday gift for 3 year olds!)
