Fly

"This picture book gives readers the inside scoop on the people and technology behind a successful flight. Text and illustrations work well together and would be an excellent choice for a storytime or in a one-on-one reading. Another strength of this title is the effort that went into making the text accurate. The title helps build curiosity and vocabulary in a child-friendly way. This is a highly recommended early STEM title for public libraries and schools, and a great way to prepare young children for their first plane ride." - School Library Journal

"From takeoff to landing, a look behind the scenes of a commercial flight. Technical terms such as 'yoke' and 'landing gear' help youngsters understand the mechanics of a flight...Clement's crisp, clean digital images and bold angle placements resemble another transportation connoisseur, Donald Crews.... an intriguing choice for the more technically minded." -Kirkus Reviews
