Let's Fly

Sometimes I lie in the grass, looking up at the sky. What is it like to fly?, I wonder. What does it feel like? I bend my knees to push off, my feet lift off the ground, and ... Did you ever dream you were flying? High above the ground, floating freely through the air? It's such a wonderful feeling! But how did you fly? Like a dragonfly, hovering just above the surface of the earth? Of did you glide from treetop to treetop, like a flying snake? Or did you fly way up high in the sky, like a condor above the mountain tops?

Kim Merel gives you wings in Let's Fly! The reader flies along with all sorts of amazing animals, some of which you'll be surprised to discover that they are able to fly. This wonderful picture book, indeed full of wonder, will have you feeling as free as a bird (or fish, or snake, or squirrel, or ...). Chances are you'll not want to stop reading, since closing the book means dropping back to earth with a jolt. Lots of interesting information about the flying animals is provided separately at the end of the book.
