Review
A wonderfully whimsical story of a five-year-old girl whose curiosity coaxes her into accidentally flying off with an airplane. (Kitchener-Waterloo Record )

Angela's personality and spirit are captured perfectly in Martchenko's depiction of her. (Canadian Materials )

Customer Reviews

I love this one
I bought this one for my niece, because she looks a little like the protagonist and they have similar names. Both my nieces like this one, probably because it's so absurd.

Angela inadvertently, at the age of five, steals an airplane. With help from the tower she manages to land... sorta... well, they say any landing you walk away from is a good landing!

At the end, we're told that she grew up to become an airplane pilot, a fitting career.

The whole scenario, especially the dialog, is absurdly unrealistic, and it has my nieces in stitches every time. After all, if you or I crashed a plane, you can bet our dad would do more than just ask us to promise not to do it again!

I can't recommend this one enough.

Edit: Please note that this edition of the book, the "Annikins" edition, is a specially small version of the book, as explained in the product information.

Small book!!
This is not a full-size book! The product description does not explain that the (Annikins) book is a tiny little 3"x3" book.

cute
These are cute tiny books. My daughter likes them because they are easy to hold and take places. The story is cute, another crazy story from one of our favorite authors. :o)
