My First Book of Airplanes: All About Flying Machines for Kids

My First Book of Airplanes introduces young children ages 3-5 to flying machines through colorful illustrations and accessible explanations. The book covers the history of flight, from the Wright brothers and Amelia Earhart to modern Mars missions, and explores various types of aircraft including gliders, passenger planes, military aviation, and jumbo jets. Large, colorful pictures and illustrations provide close-up views of different aircraft. The book explains the basic forces involved in flight—gravity, thrust, drag, and lift—using language appropriate for preschool and early elementary readers. Part of the same series as My First Book of Planets, this book presents age-appropriate facts about how airplanes work and the history of human flight.
