My son is 3 1/2 and loves Helicopters, he got this book for Christmas. He loves it (he even takes it to bed to read to his stuffed animals). It's a small (in size) paperback book with realistic images of parts of the helicopter and different types of helicopters, including thier "duties." The book explains everything in general terms that any child can understand. I love it because it's very educational. So, if you have a child who loves helicopters, this is the book for them.
I bought this book for my 4-year old son and we both love this book. Gives a nice overview of helicopter basics. Nice color pictures.
wup wup wup! Nice book, my 2-year old likes it. The pictures are a little old as if they are from the 80s or 70s, that's the main bad thing about it.It shows helicopters flying high and fast, low and slow, in various terrains, the pilot, his cockpit, a glossary of terms, and some otherstuff that I"m not remembering right now. A good value and fun for little kids.
I would say this helicopter is for a younger child. My child is 4 and has a helicopter addiction, but I think the story to this book is a bit basic. Nice pictures. Informative.Just for a younger kid.
When my eldest child turned four last year, I bought this (along with some other books) for his birthday.It's tough to find books on helicopters, and this one is great. It is succinct and educational. It tells him enough about the individual parts of the helicopter and how it flies to keep him interested and intellectualy stimulated, but it doesn't overwhelm him with too much detail. The pictures are nice, too. I particularly like that they are 'real' photos, as opposed to illustrations.
My five year old grandson loves this book. He's fascinated with how things work and this book gives him easy to understand basics on the workings of a helicopter. Will look for other books by this author.
My 2 year old son loves this book so much, I had to buy 2 copies. He reads it several times a day and has the book memorized. It does a good job at explaining the various parts of a helicopter, which my son can now identify on all of his toy helicopters. My husband, who has loved helicopters since he was a child, even said that he learned a few things from the book.
This is a nice book, sized for small hands, durable even though not a board book. Simple, direct, concise. I laughed out loud when I came across the Police Helicopter pages (something like "Helicopters help police to find suspects. Suspects are people who the police think have broken the law" with a picture of a perp cuffed and bent over the hood of a patrol car, with a copter hovering above). We haven't introduced the associated concepts to our 2-year-olds yet (crime, police, arrests, etc)... so this was a surprise. But they don't focus on those things yet so much as the helicopter's color. But for those concerned, there are sections on firefighting and rescue helicopters that may bring up questions about... well... fires and remote injuries. But the text is similar in style and direct "Helicopters help to fight fires. This helicopter is dumping water on a fire", etc.
