My First Plane Ride

Is your child getting ready for their first airplane trip? Help them feel excited, confident, and prepared before takeoff!

Flying on an airplane is a big adventure, especially for young children who don't know what to expect. In My First Airplane Ride, kids join Tony as he experiences every step of his very first flight—from packing his suitcase at home to arriving at his destination for an exciting family vacation.

Along the way, children will learn what happens at the airport, how airport security works, what it's like to board an airplane, where luggage goes, how takeoff feels, why turbulence happens, what flying above the clouds looks like, and how the airplane lands safely.

Written in a warm, reassuring style with bright, colorful illustrations, this book helps replace fear with excitement while answering many of the questions young travelers have before their first flight.
