Review: Planes Go by Steve Light

 

Image and summary from Goodreads:

The helicopter goes, "PITTATATATA PITTATATATA PITTATATATA." The jumbo jet goes, "Wheeeeeeeee VRRRRRRRRRRUUUHHHHHHHHHMMM." The propeller plane goes, "HUK HUK HUK WHIRRRRRRR WHIRRRRRR." Prepare for liftoff with 8 exciting aircraft and the noises they make in this irresistible board book! The long, oversized format lends itself to the shape of the vehicles and stands out on the shelf, and the boisterous text begs to be read aloud.

Planes Go is a very cute, easy to read board book featuring various planes (and helicopters) and the different sounds they make when they "go".  

I really like that it's an oversized board book, rather than a tiny little one like I normally see.  It just lends itself to more text, bigger pictures and more fun for the kids who read it.  

The illustrations are simple, but engaging.  

All in all, I really enjoyed the book.    

I'd like to thank Chronicle Books for sending me a copy to review.  You can order your own copy on Amazon (here) or pick it up at the bookstore today (August 12).
