My son only stops reading this book when he can talk us into reading it out loud to him. He’s taken it to bed with him on several occasions to continue reading on his own by flashlight.

If you have a child who loves knowing how things work, and asks questions about fighter planes that you can’t answer and don’t want to trust to Google, get a copy of this book from my beloved Usborne book company. They also make similar selections featuring submarines, tanks, and more available on Amazon to keep your fighting vehicle enthusiast satisfied no matter what they love.
