Good story for children! Cute & informative illustrations. My grandson loves helicopters & loves this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepare to learn everything you never knew about helicopters!

Our little guy is thoroughly obsessed with helicopters and this book was an instant hit with him. I love the educational elements of it - I never knew about cyclic or collective sticks before - and he adores noting which helicopters have landing skids or how many rotor blades are on each propeller. If your kiddo is into copters, this is your book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little book for helicopter lovers!

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun book for toddlers

b.g. · January 8, 2020

My 2 year old granddaughter really loves helicopters. She sees them quite often above our home, so I was pretty sure she would enjoy this book. It is perhaps a bit too scientific for a 2 year old, but I have learned some new facts about how helicopters work & she enjoys being read to about her favorite flying machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars These books are brilliant!.

We have had a set of eight Tony Mitton books for years (submarines, planes, boats, diggers, & others). Although my kids are a bit old for them now, I couldn’t resist spending a few dollars on this helicopter one, mostly out of nostalgia, thinking of the many nights I read the others to my sons (who are now 10 & 12). These books are brilliant!... both the rhymes & the illustrations. I’d strongly recommend them for a one to six year old boy or girl. Hours of enjoyment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!

What a cute book. Nicely written. Gives some basic information on a child’s level about how a helicopter works but doesn’t dwell on it. That is, the whole book doesn't talk about the workings of the helicopter. Very pleased with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for your 2 year old with a helicopter obsession

R. · September 30, 2019

Educational with great rhymes and flow. Only deepened my 2 year old’s love for helicopters, and I don’t mind reading it over and over!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great childrens' book for complicated machine

J. · July 25, 2017

Our 3 yr old granddaughter adores this book. It is her 3rd book in this series of Tony Mitton Amazing Machines books. She looks all the details and has plenty of questions. Her parents and her grandparents highly recommend this book for young children. The writing is easily understood by children and the colorful illustrations contribute to the child's understanding of what could be complicated operations.

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.

The best children's books need to tick several boxes, and this one does

L. · July 16, 2023

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!

Good toy
