My First Airplane Ride Read Free Books and Download eBooks
A first airplane ride can be very exciting! Watching planes take off and land, going through security, walking the jet way, finding the right seat, watching out the window as the plane taxis down the runway, and flying up high in the sky and then, at the other end, Grandma waiting with a hug! Nancy Speir's acrylic illustrations deftly interpret the wonder and joy of a child's first plane-trip adventure.

My daughter loves this book! We got it from the library before we took a trip, and it details the steps involved with an airplane trip very easily (checking in, security check, waiting at the gate, LOUD take-off...ect). Each page has a simple rhyming sentence or two and adorable pictures. We've read it so many times my daughter "reads" it to herself all the time now. We purchased it so we can pull it out before any future trips to help her remember what's involved with air travel.
We wanted to try to help our almost 2 year old understand what to expect from a plane trip and this book has been great. He loves the pictures and I appreciate that it has pictures of things like taking shoes off at the security gate so that we can try to help prepare him for the trip. We looked at a couple other books but this was definitely the one that 1) interested him the most and 2) had the best information on getting him prepared what to expect.
I bought several airplane books to help prepare my 3 year old daughter for a 12 hour flight coming up. This is her first plane ride and I wanted to help her know what to expect. She LOVES this book, she loves that there is a grandma at the end to greet the child, just as in her case, we are going to visit her grandma in South America. She loves the catchy phrases and nice big pictures, and is starting to memorize it and know it by heart which is so cute. OUt of the pile of about 5 airplane ride books I bought, this is always the one she grabs and says, "read my airplane book." The cost is a little higher than the others but way worth it, since it really strikes a cord with her. I think she would like this book even if I hadn't bought it for the reason to prepare her, I think it is just pleasing to kids with the short, catchy phrases and big, bright colors. Very pleased! The only reason I did not put 5 stars is that I wish I could find a book to address some of the negative things that we might/will encounter like waiting, getting hungry, going potty in public restrooms, not staring at other passengers, not yelling or whining, getting tired, strange noises and cramped spaces....and somehow put a positive spin on it like....but it is all worth it to see Grandma at the end of the long plane ride! Yes, it's fun and cool to ride in an airplane but it's long, annoying, and there are rules to follow as well, a good lesson for kids to learn from.
My 11 month old son wants to read this book over and over. If you hide it on the coffee table, he points to the table until you retrieve it. It has also helped to stave off meltdowns at the airport. I just repeat the words in the book and then he remembers why we are waiting in line and gets excited. Highly recommended!
We purchased this book in anticipation of our 4 year-old's first flight. It was the perfect preparatory reading material for a child! He knew exactly what to expect when we arrived at the airport, and still loves to have us read this book to him at bed time.
We bought this book for our 22 month old who was going on a 20 hour flight for the first time. It was a wonderful way to familiarize him to the process of going to the airport, checking in, security etc. It rhymes and really hits all the points of what it's like to fly in a plane. Even long after the trip, he still loves this book.
Cute book for introducing toddlers and preschoolers to air travel. I like that it was updated with the security portion. We read it to my daughter multiple times during the week before her first plane trip. She was definitely not surprised at anything that she encountered at the airport.
This book was easy to read and easy to understand the basics of commercial flight travel for my 6 year old son. He thoroughly enjoyed the book. He knew what to expect and what to do for our travel day starting from the time we left our home until the time we landed at our destination.
