The Paper Airplane Book is a book about how to build paper airplanes and how to make sure they fly correctly. This book was very informational and gave very detailed instructions. Two reasons I liked this book was because it did not just list instructions about building paper airplanes. It introduced the subject to the reader and guided them through the book. The author introduced the book by saying “Have you ever flown a paper airplane?” then he goes on to talk about the different parts of the airplane and why they are important. Not listing the instructions of how to make a paper airplane allowed me as the reader to feel more connected to the author, rather than a normal book of instructions. The second reason I liked this book was because it not only told the reader how to make the paper airplane, but it also gave some solutions and things to do if it wasn’t flying correctly. For example, it said, “If the plane climbs steeply and then dives into the ground, adjust the angle of thrust a bit downward.” Giving the reader solutions to problems they may encounter was good because even if they encountered a problem, the author had pre-warned them and gave them answers to questions they may have. I think the overall message of this story was that anyone can make a great paper airplane. ( )
