Charming, entertaining, and original, The Littlest Airplane is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 4-7.

The story revolves around a plane that is smaller than all the others, feeling inferior due to its inability to do what the big planes can. However, when a storm hits and people are stranded, the big planes are too big to land and rescue them. It is then that the little plane comes to the rescue, proving that size doesn't matter when it comes to bravery and determination.

The illustrations in the book are delightful, with expressive faces on the personified airplanes and beautiful Alaskan scenery. The text clearly stands out against Joseph's wonderful illustrations, which work in tandem with the text to convey exactly what is happening in the story. These scenes are big and colorful, making it easy to see all aspects of the picture, even from a distance, perfect for story hours.

Altogether, Hartman has created another wonderful ride of a story. A great rhyming read-aloud for little learners to introduce different types of planes and spot light the oft-forgotten bush plane. Young children identify with being small and wanting to be important, and they will recognize this story as a good companion to "The Little Engine That Could."

In conclusion, The Littlest Airplane is a must-read for children ages 4-7. Its charming story, colorful illustrations, and rhyming text make it an enjoyable and educational experience for young readers. The book's message of bravery and determination is sure to inspire and empower children, and it is an excellent addition to any library or classroom collection.
