Summary

What's it like to travel by plane for the first time? Little flyers are in good company with Maisy leading the way.

Maisy is going to visit her friend Ella, and she is taking a plane to get there. She's very excited! Join the mouse as she checks in at the airport, finds her seat (by the window!) and makes some new friends on her flight. From the whoosh at takeoff to waiting in line for the bathroom, from buckling seat belts to arriving in a whole new wonderful place, flying is more fun with a friend like Maisy on board.

School Library Journal Review

PreS-The latest Maisy book describes the beloved mouse's first plane trip. Through simply stated text with a friendly tone, readers' journey along with Maisy from check-in, boarding, and finding a seat to buckling seat belts, holding the hand of a nervous friend, and taking off. Finally, after they soar through the night, it's time for "Touchdown! The plane gives a little bump and a jump as it lands." With its trademark bright, saturated colors, black outlines, and flat illustration style, this title is ready-made for the preschool set and will help prepare for a first plane trip, or serve as another reliable transportation title. VERDICT A solid addition to the series.-Ramarie Beaver, Plano Public Library System, TX © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
