Quick Summary
If you know a kid who loses their mind over anything that flies, this is right up their alley. "Planes" packs a ton of variety into its short pages you'll find everything from massive megalifters that look like something out of a sci-fi movie to amphibious aircraft that can land on water, plus a bunch of experimental stuff that shows just how wild engineers can get when they set their minds to it. Each section is packed with real stats and facts that make you realize how incredible these machines actually are. The visual layout makes it easy to flip around and jump into whatever catches your eye, which is perfect for kids who might not read straight through but will happily graze for interesting bits. Parents will appreciate that it's genuinely educational without feeling like homework it's the kind of book that sparks those "wait, that's REAL?" moments. If your kid devours this and wants more, Aviation: From the First Flights to the Present Day covers similar ground and would be a great next stop.
