Helicopters (Pull Ahead Books ― Mighty Movers)

wup wup wup! Nice book, my 2-year old likes it. The pictures are a little old as if they are from the 80s or 70s, that's the main bad thing about it.It shows helicopters flying high and fast, low and slow, in various terrains, the pilot, his cockpit, a glossary of terms, and some otherstuff that I"m not remembering right now. A good value and fun for little kids.

This is a nice book, sized for small hands, durable even though not a board book. Simple, direct, concise. I laughed out loud when I came across the Police Helicopter pages (something like "Helicopters help police to find suspects. Suspects are people who the police think have broken the law" with a picture of a perp cuffed and bent over the hood of a patrol car, with a copter hovering above). We haven't introduced the associated concepts to our 2-year-olds yet (crime, police, arrests, etc)... so this was a surprise. But they don't focus on those things yet so much as the helicopter's color. But for those concerned, there are sections on firefighting and rescue helicopters that may bring up questions about... well... fires and remote injuries. But the text is similar in style and direct "Helicopters help to fight fires. This helicopter is dumping water on a fire", etc.

My 2 years old loves it. Real pictures are coupled with brief and accurate descriptions. It has become his favorite book. The issue is that it is not hardcover so I will have to buy a new one as it will worn out soon

I purchased both of Jeffrey Zuehike's books "Fighter Planes" and "Helicopters," which my 4 year old grandson just loves. He spends every night pouring over the pages and is learning to read the words himself. These books are informative without being over the top, very simple for a new reader to pick up and feel encouraged that they can actually read the words. The photos are amazing and illustrate well the context. For a little boy who showed little interest in Helicopters, he is enthralled with helicopters now!! My only wish is that Jeffrey Zuehike write a book about passenger planes and emergency vehicles with the same informative yet simplistic style he has crafted here. I highly recommend these books.

I would say this helicopter is for a younger child. My child is 4 and has a helicopter addiction, but I think the story to this book is a bit basic. Nice pictures. Informative.Just for a younger kid.

My 2yr old son loves helicopters. He loves this book and it has helped him identify all the parts on his toy helicopters. Very easy but interesting read. Not like a boring kid hood that has 3pgs. Def love

I sent this book sight unseen to my six year old grandson as a companion Christmas gift to a model helicopter. He's crazy about helicopters. When we spoke on the phone I asked him if he liked the helicopter, meaning the model, but all he wanted to speak about was the book. The best review I can give this is his words not mine;"The book is so awesome, I'm going to read it again and again because I can't remember all the new things I'm learning about helicopters". As the expression goes, kids say the darnest things.

As described. Pretty pictures but, ONLY for children 9 years of age or younger. NOT for teenagers or adolescents thinking about becoming a helicopter pilot applicant.
