The Plane That Was too Scared To Fly
The Plane That Was Too Scared To Fly.
“I have purchased a copy of this delightful story by Keeno Reade for my grandson who is 7 years old.
This book appealed greatly to me due to the excellent use of vocabulary throughout, its expressive illustrations, good sized text and the repetition of the lines
“ I AM GOING TO FLY.
I AM GOING TO FLY.
I AM GOING TO FLY.”
This story I feel will be enjoyed by a wide range of readers, both young and old.
It will be a favorite with small children who will love its engaging illustrations and appealing story as it is being read to them.
As the children develop their own reading skills, I feel the story will have been such a favorite they will return to the book and enjoy reading it by themselves.
I wish Keeno every success with her writing and look forward to many more publications from her in the future.”

Marvin is a sound plane, but he is too scared to fly.
Can Tiger, a fearless plane, help him get off the ground?
This story helps make learning to read interesting and absorbing because the repetition is part of an exciting story, which is another bonus as this helps increase vocabulary and language skills in children.

Colourful Picture Books to help build vocabulary, language skills, and fluent readers.
“If the child has never heard the word, the child will never say the word: and if you have neither heard it nor said it, it’s pretty tough to read it or to write it.” - Jim Trelease.
Story Time
- Suitable to read to children, to read together, and for fluent readers (usually 6-9 year olds) to read by themselves.
- They contain a rich vocabulary. Children meet and pick up words such as zoomed, shuddered, chattering, awe. “...when it comes to building rich vocabulary, nothing does it like words that come from print.” - Jim Trelease.
- They also contain lines of rhyme and repetition to enable the emergent and beginner reader to participate.
- They’re absorbing, and therefore great for repeat readings.
In his book, The Read Aloud Handbook (2006 Penguin), Jim Trelease says, “ So many read aloud claims had accumulated in a 30-year period, researchers subjected them to a meta-analysis to see if the concept lived up to its claims. Looking at the impact of frequent household reading to preschoolers, the analysis showed clear positive gains for phonemic awareness, language growth and beginning reading skills... and the earlier or younger the reading began, the better the results. Even when children reach primary grades, research has shown repeat picture book readings increases vocabulary acquisition by 15 to 40 percent, and the learning is relatively permanent...”
