A rhyming picture book about how sometimes it's not the biggest,
strongest, or the fastest, but the littlest who can get the job
done! "Charming, entertaining, and original, The Littlest Airplane
is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to family,
daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library
picture book collections for children ages 4-7." -Midwest Book
Review "This is a really cute story about a plane that is smaller
than all the others. He feels inferior because he can't do what the
big planes can. But when people get stuck in a storm and call for
help, the big planes are too big to land to rescue the people, the
little plane can reach them and he saves them. The illustrations
were cute; I love the expressiveness of the planes. . . 4 stars."
-Youth Services Book Review "The text clearly stands out against
Joseph's wonderful illustrations, which work in tandem with the
text to convey exactly what's happening in the story. These scenes
are big and colorful, making it easy to see all aspects of the
picture, even from a distance-perfect for story hours. . .
Altogether, Hartman has created another wonderful ride of a story.
A great rhyming read aloud for little learners to introduce
different types of planes and spot light the oft-forgotten bush
plane." -School Library Journal "The story told in lilting rhyming
text is brought to life in colorful illustrations featuring
personified airplanes with expressive faces and beautiful Alaskan
scenery. Facts about bush planes and a labeled diagram of a plane
appear in the back pages. Young children identify with being small
and wanting to be important. They will recognize this story as a
good companion to The Little Engine That Could." -Children's
Literature Comprehensive Database "Alaska Northwest Books wings
into spring with... The Littlest Airplane by Brooke Hartman, illus.
by John Joseph, in which a storm necessitates calling a mighty
little bush plane to rescue people stuck on a mountain in the
snow." -Publishers Weekly, Spring 2022 Children's Sneak Previews At
a landing strip in the far north, a little bush plane watches
quietly as bigger, stronger, faster planes take off for adventure.
But when a storm hits and hikers are stranded on the mountain, who
will come to the rescue? Told in rhyming verse with bright
illustrations, The Littlest Airplane soars high with heart and
excitement.
