Description

Find out all about helicopters in this fun-packed flap book.

Peep inside a helicopter cockpit to see how the controls work, then use flaps to help it take off, and find and rescue a hiker from a mountain. Emergency vehicles are a talking point for many young children, and this reassuring story of how a helicopter flies to help a stranded mountain climber and take them safely to hospital is a lovely first way to explore the topic, with the added fascination of an unusual rescue vehicle.

Young children will love the playful flaps and peep-holes, which create an interactive learning experience while they satisfy their curiosity about helicopters.

Peep Inside How a Helicopter Works provides an engaging introduction to the exciting world of emergency rescue operations for young minds.
