I liked the farm book of this series so much, I ordered this one too for my 3 year old grandson. But this one stretches to fill up the day at the airport. There are circus performers, thieves, rain pouring through the roof--all sorts os silliness that doesn't really happen much art the airport. And there isn't enough real stuff that goes on. Where are the scenes in the hanger, the baggage sorting room, the security guards behind the scenes, and all the other stuff one wonders about. My grandson wasn't so interested in this book because it didn't show the things he really wanted to see more of.
I like the idea of this book. It is fun to go through the day and follow all of the events. I bought it for my son's 5th birthday and after closer review I wasn't that happy with it. Several of the kids in the book are behaving badly which can be easily explained and discussed, but the pages with body builders threatening the counter agents and the fight errupting upstairs really seems inappropriate. I'm not sure why the need for an aggressive scene is necessary in a book listed for ages 4-8. Taking that scene out of the book would earn it a much higher rating.
We read this book a couple times a day. I was a little concerned with the tone of the book at first, but my daughter doesn't seem to catch on to good vs bad people yet, so it's just fine. What las been exciting is teaching her about the clock and getting her to say the numbers. I picked this book up to read on a plane ride and it's still a hit a month later, yay!
My son loves this series of books "A Day at..." or "A Year at..." - this one is his absolute favorite. He loves seeing the same scene over the course of a day - what all the people are doing, how the airport functions. It's colorful, tells a good story, and is entertaining. As a parent, I love all of the conversations that we can have about each person, page, etc...HIGHLY SUGGEST BUYING THIS!
Well written book for your toddler. Ours enjoys searching for all the diufferent characters and events, as well as learning about time throughout the day. All told, a good choice for a child five or six years old.
This book was a perfect addition for our trip with our 6 yr. old grandson. We used the book prior to our trip, at the airport and on the plane. It prepared him for the trip and added to his vocabulary. This is a great book.
I found one of these books in the Library "A Day in the City" and brought it home with in the day everyone of my children 20 years to 6 years had throughly scoured the book to find all the things that were recorded with in, It even entertained myself as I read it and searched the pictures with my youngest. I have since brought home "A Year on a Pirate Ship", "A year on a Farm" and "A Year at a Construction sight." I highly recommend this series of book for any family.
Lately, my two year old son is facinated by all kinds of transportation means from cars to ships to planes. We have taken a few trips with him since he was born. With this book, we could explain to him more on what is happening at an airport throughout the day. He gets very excited about it. With his limited vocabulary, he tells us, "airplane up, airplane down, airplane broken..." Hopefully, next time when we take a trip again, he can remember this book and observe more carefully at the airport.
