My Thoughts
If I had a little one traveling by plane, I would definitely get this book. Although it is a story about an adorable fictional family going on vacation, the text reads like nonfiction giving children a glimpse into what they might expect on their journey. Brown presents realistic situations like standing in many long lines, waiting at the gate, squeezing into the seat, etc. I can imagine this book bringing comfort to children as they read it over and over again before traveling.
There is just something about Lisa Brown's illustrations. They are realistic, yet soft and make you want to just look at them over and over again. Each page has lots of things for young eyes to explore. They will enjoy trying to find the little girl's sock monkey's tail that hangs out of her luggage somewhere on each page.
