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.

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.

l'ho regalato ad un bambino di 2 anni e mezzo che è molto appassionato del TOTO (elicottero). Quando vuole il libro dice TOTO TOTO! E ogni volta è sempre molto contento di poterlo sfogliare e capire bene le storie in esso contenuto.

I never write reviews but this book is so cute and perfect for my 21 month old girl who is currently obsessed with helicopters. It’s very informative but also has rhyming throughout which keeps her engaged. Great pictures as well. Worth the purchase!
