Amazing Machines: Hovering Helicopters : Mitton, Tony, Parker, Ant: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: The best children's books need to tick several boxes, and this one does - The best books for small children need to be about something that interests them. They need to have big, cheerful illustrations. The word count needs to be just right - not too much, not too few. And it helps if they rhyme. This book does all these things - but what makes it even better is that it's a book that adults can enjoy too. It conveys information simply and with enjoyable rhymes, so that when a little one chooses it yet again, it's not a hardship for grown-ups to read it. 'Oi, Frog!' is also like this - but where the helicopters book is informative, 'Oi, Frog!' is hilarious. Get both! Review: High-flying - Another super book written by super authors. Perfect for any vehicle loving child.

The pictures are great and there is just a little technical info in ...
A lovely addition to the series. My three-yr-old loves the rhyming format (and so do I!). The pictures are great and there is just a little technical info in there for my budding engineer.

Good for young helicopter enthusiasts
My 2 year old is OBSESSED with helicopters so he loves this book. The rhyming is a bit dodgy in parts but overall a good book.
