A Soaring Imagination

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2000
Review: This spring my five-year-old son was just beginning to enjoy having chapter books read to him, and I scanned my children's book collection looking for titles that would appeal to him. He's a fanatic about flight of all kinds, so when my eye lit on...
