Reviews

Grade 3-6--" You " open this wider-than-it-is-tall book with full color on every page to find yourself at the controls of a 747 in flight. An expert pilot named Chuck is right behind you, ready to explain everything about how to fly, from basic principles to the acronyms for the array of switches, displays, and levers facing you. Interspersed with these conversations are sidebars and pages of background text and diagrams, labeled photos and paintings, all of which are well presented in themselves (except where print size becomes vanishingly small), but break the flow of the text. At times this can become quite disorienting, especially when readers are expected to remember acronyms used several pages earlier without a second translation. The glossarized index helps--if readers know to look for it. Jaspersohn's A Week in the Life of an Airline Pilot (Little, 1991) presents similar information from an entirely different standpoint. Its black-and-white photos and focus on people and airline operations are less likely to grab readers, but the facts are presented in a single text that can be read straight through. --Margaret Chatham, formerly at Smithtown Library, NY
