Benny the Biplane was built to fly during the war. When the war ended, Benny was no longer needed. He was parked in a field until he was purchased by a man to use in a carnival. He was used to perform tricks which he enjoyed until the carnival ended and he was once again un-needed. Benny was then purchased by a woman who used him to drop toys and food to needy children all over the world. The book is appended with historical facts concerning the illustrations.

Benny loves loves to fly and any child who loves airplanes will love this book! Unfortunately Benny is grounded and finds himself in a field with other grounded planes. The good news is that he won’t remain there forever. I really liked the realistic illustrations and photographs.

I received a free copy of Benny the Biplane in exchange for an honest review.

This simple story of a biplane who wasn’t happy to be parked on a field fits the bill of high interest book for new English learners besides young readers. The sentences are repetitive but the story as an underlining theme of having a good work ethic. It also has historical photos of planes and pilots as well as photo credits at the back of the book.

Benny the Biplane loves to fly. He was made to fly in a war, then the war ended and he was grounded. Then he got to fly with a carnival where people did tricks, but the carnival closed down. Finally, a woman chose Benny for an important mission of delivering food and toys to children and Benny was happy.

This is a wonderful story, perfect for children 2-6. Simple, short sentences paired with real photos of biplanes are able to keep the interest of children, especially ones that love things that go! I really liked that this book was able to introduce a little history of the biplane along with some real jobs that biplanes were used for. It also touches upon the subjects of having a purpose and fulfilment providing an easy way to introduce children to those topics. I would have loved a sentence about what makes a biplane special (I correctly guessed bi went with the two wings) so I could answer this inevitable question that my child asked me.

This book was provided for free in return for an honest review.
