Good Night Sleep Tight What a Wonderful Flight by Louise Lintvelt


Rating: WORTHY!

Illustrated in colorful detail by Do Thai Thanh, this is a very short book for young children about air transport and busy, crowded skies and what to do at the end of a full and busy day. Written poetically and very much in the mode of Goodnight Moon, the story is ideal for bedtime reading as it tells tales of different aircraft settling down for the night, and dreaming of flights gone by or flights to come. There are military jets, passenger airplanes, crop dusters, fire-fighting planes, and rescue helicopters, of all colors and shapes and sizes. Each plays an important part and each needs its rest to take up the baton the very next day.

I recommend this one because it seemed like a great way to get kids to sleep, and sometimes that's more important than educating them from a children's book! LOL! note that the text is too small to comfortably read on a phone, so you really need the print version or to read this on a pad for best results.
