My husband and I started a collection of Little Golden Books based on all of the Disney animated movies for our oldest grandson, and "Planes Fire & Rescue" was one of our additions this past Christmas (though this time it was purchased for our middle grandson, who's going on 3 years old and has been enjoying all of the well-worn, well-loved books from Big Brother!) I've babysat my grandsons since birth (there's a third now, waiting in the wings), and have really come to appreciate the knack these books have of doing such a nice job of condensing full length movies down into 24 easy-to-read pages (perfect for a lunchtime or naptime read), easily capturing a youngster's imagination with their colorful illustrations.This is obviously a very condensed version of the movie plot, but I think pretty well hits on the main points surrounding the tale of main character Dusty Crophopper's firefighting adventures at Piston Peak National Park. Several of the characters other than Dusty are mentioned by name (Mayday, Chug, Skipper, Lil' Dipper, Windlifter, The Smokejumpers, Blade Ranger, Maru, Winnie & Harvey), and the illustrations feature many of the other characters as well. As in the original movie (and book), Dusty becomes the hero again, but not without the help of his friends (giving a simple to comprehend message about teamwork to impressionable little ones.)Following in the steps of his older brother (and hopefully with just a bit of help from grandma?), our middle grandson took to reading early, and the simplicity of these books make them great as teaching tools. Possibly coupled with one of the cute diecast figures available (which you can typically find for @ $6), this would be a perfect gift (at a budget-conscious price) the next time your youngster is invited to a birthday party!
My granddaughters are big Pixar and airplane fans so this book was perfect. I am a believer in finding books about children's interests and giving them the opportunity by letting them read it or if they are too young, read it to them and spark that interest in reading.I am a fan of Golden books and this is a good one.
Thissss is a very good book for my great gra nd children.4 and 6 They are learning to read and it captures their attention. "read it again!" Their favorite word. That helps them recognise the words. They love it. Thank you!
We got this book for our son prior to seeing the new movie. Great pictures! Our son can spend hours just flipping through the pages looking at the pictures. And he loves having his big brother read it to him. A great book for any Planes fan.
This book is the favorite of our three year old grandson, he insists his parents read it to him every night before bedtime. I think he loves the excitement and sense of urgency portrayed in the book, and this book helps children to make sense of what they see going on around them every day. Now when he sees an airplane, he knows what it is, and asks his parents where the airplane is going, how many people are on board, and what they are doing. These types of books help children to think, and be engaged in life. This book clearly deserves the five star rating I gave it!
Really cute book, with a good story. Unlike the movies, these books for the younger audience limit the sometimes scary parts that prohibit us from watching the movies. My son LOVES planes and cars, so he has been really excited to read this book over and over...
My Planes-obsessed toddler was so excited to receive this book. It has wonderful graphics and is a great book to hold over your little ones until the new movie is released. I'm sure it will be just as fun once the movie has hit theaters!
This is certainly old news, but as a fairly recent parent, I was excited to buy my daughter's first Golden Book. My wife and I eagerly awaited the arrived of what we felt convinced would be the first Golden Book in a large library of stories and fun! After all, I had a sizable collection of them as a child and they played a big role in my love of books and reading. I saw no reason why my daughter couldn't experience this too!Sadly, for whatever reason, the quality of Golden Books has dropped by several orders of magnitude. The book arrived significantly warped (other parents tell me that is "normal" and that it's quite hard to find a new Golden Book that is NOT warped), the pages were not cut evenly, and one even hung out farther than the rest (long edge) so anyone could easily get a paper cut. In fact ALL the pages hang out farther than the "hardback" cover. When I purchase ANY book, the last thing I'm expecting is to have to trim it so as not to harm anyone.Insult to injury, the animation style in this book is NOTHING like movies, Planes F&R is my daughter's FAVORITE movie but she barely connects that these are the same characters. Same goofy disconnected art style that's at the end of Bolt and a few other Disney movies. Cute but just not really reinforcing the brand's style... this is Planes (2 even), and Planes is no Cars (in popularity).Admitted this oversight is OUR fault for impulse buying the book from the "you just added _______ to you cart! You might also like _______" offers at checkout, and not looking into the pictures more thoroughly; as such my rating is NOT taking this part of my disappointment into account.Overall is this still a good book for your kids? Except for the papercut hazard, probably so if your lil one is a fan, just be aware of the differing "babyesque" art style.Again, this score is reflecting the horrendous drop in quality that Golden Books manufacturing has suffered over the years, not the content of the book.Sadly the last one I'll be purchasing, they're just not worth it.Can anyone else recommend a similar book series/type?
