Now in Paperback!Just in time for summer travel, this paperback edition of THE NOISY AIRPLANE RIDE offers a rhyming tour of the variety of sounds a child might hear before, during, and after takeoff. Rhythmic noises make for a great read-aloud.A final double-page spread helps clarify some of the sights and physical sensations of a plane ride, from luggage loading to queasiness.”Will no doubt provide comfort to young, first-time flyers.” -Booklist”A contribution both cogent and soothing to the scanty library of preflight, or in-flight, reading matter for young, infrequent flyers.
MIKE DOWNS flew fighter aircraft for seven years before becoming an airline pilot. He lives with his family in Pennsylvania. THE NOISY AIRPLANE RIDE was his second children’s book.
DAVID GORDON’s other work includes The Ugly Truckling and visual development on Pixar/Disney blockbusters Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.
“From thumping down the extended Jetway (“STOMP, STOMP, TROMP”) into the aircraft, to running out at flight’s end to Grandma’s “HELLO!,” this account of an air journey focuses on the typical–normal–noises a passenger might hear. Downs, a professional pilot, provides rhymed explanations for the whines and dings, whooshes and roars an anxious young traveler and his parents hear as they buckle up, take off, use the restroom, spill a drink, and other common occurrences–all of which Gordon depicts in reassuringly bland, digitally created onboard scenes. Closing with a sometimes tongue-in-cheek catalogue of further sounds (“MUZAK . . . you might want to bring earplugs for this special treat during the boarding process”), this makes a contribution both cogent and soothing to the scanty library of preflight, or in-flight, reading matter for young, infrequent fliers.”
