Review for An Airplane without Wings by Lorenzo Rodriguez

 An Airplane without Wings by Lorenzo Rodriguez, Alexandre Vieira Nuno (illustrator)

Taken from Amazon:  “When I don’t have cookies with my milk, it’s like a zoo without cages . . . a pizza without a crust . . . an airplane without wings!”

Little Henry knows that some things in life just make sense together—fries with ketchup, ice cream in a cone, a coloring book with crayons. One can never go without the other! Everyone knows that, right?

Well, perhaps not his mom! After school one day, she offers Henry a glass of milk . . . but he can’t drink it on its own. Follow along as Henry explains to his mother all the reasons why milk without cookies is just plain wrong!

My Thoughts:  I giggled at this book.   It is such a cute story about a young boy who cannot drink a glass of milk without cookies.   Everything he mentions in the story is something that little ones would recognize.  

I love that there are not a ton of words in the book, but the illustrations tell so much of the story.   The illustrations are so bright and realistic that they tell the story perfectly without all the words.   The little ones that will read this book will be enthralled by the pictures and be able to tell the story without being able to read the words. 

Thank you Blue Balloon Books for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
