We have a whole collection of Little Golden Books for all of the Disney movies, and they have been so wonderful - with their colorful illustrations and simple words - for our older grandson, who started kindergarten last fall. We included this in a big box of "Planes"-related items as one of his Christmas gifts, and it gives a very condensed version of the movie plot, but hits on the main points in its 24 pages surrounding main character Dusty Crophopper's adventures in the Wings Around the Globe Rally. It mentions several of the main characters other than Dusty: Chug (his best friend), Skipper (his coach), Bulldog (the British Racer), El Chupacabra (Mexican racer), Ripslinger (the antagonist) and Ned & Zed (Ripslinger's thugs), as well as Bravo & Echo (the Navy jets) and the Dwight D. Flysenhower (ship). Our grandson enjoyed reading this aloud to us, and I thought about what a nice children's birthday party gift this would be ('s $3.59 price was under the imprinted $3.99 price on the back cover) if accompanied by one of the diecast figures, which go for around $6 - fun gift for just $10 total!
As other reviews have mentioned, the story in this book is very much condensed. I knew that going in so our expectations were not set high. My 2 year old son loves books and anything I can do to encourage reading is a plus. The character and story recognition appealed to him and he was excited to read this book. It is a part of our nightime routine, we have several books in rotation.
Whether or not your kids have seen the movie, it's an easy to follow story that teaches some positive lessons. It's a smaller, hard backed book with some thin pages, so if you have a child who likes to "help turn the pages" be aware, Dusty the Cropduster might experience a Rip or two in the process.. Overall, its a great, light weight read to have with you.
I could not find this book anywhere. So I order it online. Not only was the shipping fast but my son adores this book. He is 4 years old and loves every picture in the book. Perfect for bed time stories.
This is a nice little summary of the movie "PLANES". The Golden Book illustrations are cute, and this is a nice short story to read to your little one who loves Planes....or just loves books in general!
Great book to bring a movie to bedtime story reading. Illustrations are not the same as the movie or other Planes books, but that doesn't seem to turn off my son who was 4yo when he received it. Any astute child will notice the differences between this story and the Disney film (which scenes were left out), which makes for some good analytical thinking for preschoolers.
Summarizes fairly well the Disney PLANES movie storyline. Our 3 year old grandchild loves for us to read it to her and then she "reads" it back to us. The illustrations are nicely done and help her "remember" the sequence.
Let me preface this negative review of this book by stating that the Disney Cars/Planes themed TOYS are creative, imaginative and well-made; and the Disney Cars CARTOONS are wonderfully captivating, and my child adores them (especially the cute music.) AND, Little Golden books are some of the most beloved children's books ever created. BUT, with that said, .... something went totally awry with the Disney Cars/Planes Little Golden books: They are TERRIBLE. The plots are convoluted and strange. The Little Golden Books company should re-think this one as these do NOT reflect well on the long-standing and fantastic reputation of the Little Golden books company. Very unfortunate. Would it be so difficult to hire a better writer?
