I read this book when is was in the early grades of elementary school. It created a love afair with aviation that has led me to a career in aviation. I have flown nearly every small aircraft produced by the major airplane manufacturers. And to day I am a captain with one of the worlds largest airlines. Thanks Ann.

This was a siminal book in not only mine but the lives of many of my gradeschool classmates. It had all the elements of a great story: airplanes, great pictures and a kids outlook on the world. This and 'Andrew Henry's Meadow" became staples of imaginative thought and allowed a vicariously shared experience. You (or your kids) will return to it often

Good story of a boy who adopts a salmon. Read about the life cycle of this fish. The Ranger tags the fish. Does he come home ? Read it and find out ! Good Fishing for this out of print book .Worth your time to look for.
