Amazing Airplanes Book

Amazing Aeroplanes is a lovely book written by Tony Mitton and illustrated by Ant parker. I read the book to my reception class as we had just visited Duxford Air Museum. The children really enjoyed the story and the pictures were great for asking children about the things they had learnt at Duxford such as the different parts of the aeroplanes. The book is also a brilliant introduction to rhyming literature as it is set out as a long poem and this could certainly be used as a template for older children to begin their own work. The book is part of a series called 'Amazing Machines' and I certainly aim to become familiar with the other titles I just wish I'd found them earlier as we were doing a topic on transport!
