- In age- appropriate language, Spiro explains how each type of flight works -- and how young children can see those principles at work around them every day.
- Simple enough to appeal to the littlest listeners, but accurate enough to satisfy an expert, this charming new book is a great way to foster a love of science and a curiosity about the world!

Kiki's Insight: This book is a unique way to get kids thinking about the “whys” all around them from an early age -- and, as an added bonus for parents, it's a far more interesting read than the average baby board book. Your child will delight in bright and bold images as simple text explain the basic fundamentals of flight, from birds to planes to rockets!
