Great gift for a child curious about flying and interested in airplanes. Hands-on approach is excellent and the five models are fun to make and fly. Make sure child is old enough for this novelty item or be prepared to lend a hand. Enjoy!Book provided by publisher.
Fun little project for young kids. 4 or 5 planes in total and a lot of interesting info about how planes fly, etc.
It was everything I had hoped, and more. Came in the stated time. Recommend same to anyone!
Such a cool book!
