A look at airplanes encourages readers to work their way through the letters of the alphabet as they learn about jet engines, propellers, elevators, struts, pilots, and more.

Kindergarten-Grade 2-- Large, clear, colorful photographs make up this alphabet book that focuses on some of the parts of an airplane and their functions. Children may be interested in the galley where the food is prepared, but will probably wonder why the lavatory, one of their favorite places to explore, is omitted. The letter O, whose representative picture is the opening in a jet engine, and the letter X, which focuses on the way some runways look from above, seem to be forced attempts to find something to include for these letters. Gail Gibbons's Flying (Holiday, 1986) gives information on different kinds of planes and their parts for the same audience, but is illustrated with drawings instead of photographs. --Zenata W.
