Reading with my kids 😁

Nice book, the children like it. I have two issues with it though. On the page with a jumbo jet and airport they have 2 flaps dedicated to "first class" areas. One of them has "little cabins for sleeping" and it also has a bar, i another "First Class passengers relax in a luxurious lounge". Ok, one flap I can get, but why two? Idk if such a plane exists...
The other issue I have is with the airport runways going straight into the terminal building, it would be nice if the illustrator/author could have taken the time to research each subject to make it realistic

Lots of lift-the-flaps and a great intro to different things that go!

What could be better than heaps of vehicles and over 60 flaps to look inside. My little one loves this book.

A very interactive read, a clear favourite and so educational. Chosen repeatedly at bedtime by my boys for obvious reasons.

Never have I ever read a book with flaps on the flaps. So many things to open! My kid loves all the details, variety of vehicles, and little fact nuggets sprinkled throughout. We're fans.

Children make a beeline for this book in the library, and it's easy to see why. Colourful, detailed illustrations with lots of lift-up flaps to see inside all kinds of vehicles. Informative and fun!

Flaps on flaps on flaps! And cars! What's not to love?
