Amelia's Fantastic Flight
Rose Bursik 1992
The time has come to sort through and cull our book collection. It's proving harder than I thought as each book triggers memories! It's almost like going back in time and reliving when my kids were little. Even books (like this one) that really aren't exceptional story or picture-wise take me back to when the kids were small and we read aloud a LOT.
When Madeleine and Henry were toddlers I belonged to a book subscription club and it really started off our collection (along with some of my own childhood books). If I remember correctly this book came from there and was a popular one with Madeleine and Henry. The text is short and filled with alliteration, but what they liked was following the trail of the airplane on the maps. This will go in the bin for the yard sale on Saturday and hopefully new little readers will get their hands on it!
Amelia builds herself a plane to fly around the world and be home just in time for dinner. Everything about this book is pure 1990's!
