If you are looking for a book about how planes work, this book gives only a VERY general overview. It takes a broader approach for a younger audience about air travel in general (including a chapter on airport security). I can’t imagine that students older than third grade or students with knowledge of the Wright brothers or planes would find this book very helpful. Students just beginning to learn about these subjects might, though. For a broad overview of air travel and a younger audience (advanced reader in 2nd or 3rd grade), this is a decent book. Cute illustrations, quiz at the end and a wide array of general info. Some readers may want to go deeper though.
