Catch That Plane!
Age 3+
Picture Books
Sally Sutton’s trademark rhyming text, with funky art by Sylvie Currin Koránková, makes boarding an aeroplane fun in this picture book.
Rushing to the airport, what do I see? Plane at the gate, a-ready and a-steady. I hope it’s going to wait. We’re late as late can be!

Reviews
Wonderful use of vocabulary makes this a joy to read aloud – but make sure you share Sylvie Currin Korankova’s superb drawings which capture the excitement of flying off on holiday. Perfect for a first time flyer, there’s also a page about what to expect at the airport.
Parents in Touch
We absolutely love this book. The illustrations are just like our trip through the airport recently. Great for talking through all the steps involved in catching a plane!
