Amazing Mach Amazing Air

Tony Mitton, Ant Parker. Kingfisher, $9.99 (24pp) ISBN 978-0-7534-5403-9

Transportation is the name of the game in a quartet of titles. For preschool passengers, the paper-over-board Amazing Airplanes by Tony Mitton, illus. by Ant Parker, uses rhyming couplets to wax poetic about air travel (""The flight deck's where the captain/ and copilot do their jobs./ They both know how to fly the plane/ with all its dials and knobs""). A final page labels and describes plane and airport parts.
