Sleep Little Aircrafts

Even hard working air crafts have to wind down and take a much needed rest at night.  This engaging, informational rhyming text will have your little busy air craft lowering their cruising altitude to sleep mode.  I read this book with my 5 year old almost 6 year old son, Mr. Yoda, as I thought he would like it as the air crafts are given names and personalities resembling what he has seen in the movie Cars and Planes.  He asked a lot of questions because some of these air crafts one sees all the time and others are new and the repetition and rhyming nature of the book made it great for him to learn new vocabulary words.

The story teaches kids of five different air crafts and how they help people and communities.  Mr. Yoda's favourite air craft was Crop Duster Dan mainly because he is orange but also because of the sound he makes. Crop Duster Dan goes 'nyeeeaaa-rrruuummm.' My son loved that.  The words that mimic the sounds each air craft makes was the part he said he enjoyed the most.  The illustrations were bright during the day when the air crafts were busy with their work and darker in the evening when they were winding down for bed and sleep.  This book is likely to enthral a future little pilot in your home and might even create a gentle landing into a bed after a busy soaring day.

About the Author: Louise Lintvelt

Louise Lintvelt

I am from South Africa and I live in a city called Pretoria. I am a Chemical Engineer by day and a children’s book writer by night. I am married to a wonderful man and we have a beautiful two year old daughter called Allegra. I love writing stories for my daughter, who is a constant inspiration. I have always loved reading. My childhood was filled with books and you would often find me crouched the corner of my room devouring the pages of my favourite book. I lived for Tuesday mornings as this would bring with it the excitement of a trip to the local library for story hour and the opportunity to take home a new book. I was the local librarian’s worst nightmare. I would arrive a few minutes early to check that she had not mistakenly chosen a book that had already been read in story hour. I was a very bossy three year old with an insatiable appetite for books! This has not really changed much in the last twenty seven years. Dr. Seuss was my absolute favourite and to say that my copy of One, Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish was well read would be an understatement. When it comes to writing, my daughter is my biggest inspiration. I love seeing her face light up with excitement when we sit down to read a book before bedtime. My daughter was fascinated by giraffes after we went on a safari trip in late 2012. This planted the seed for my picture book called How Andrew Got His Spots which is a rhyming adaptation of a story I originally wrote in the third grade. My daughter has since grown into a healthy two year old with a passion for aircraft which was the inspiration for writing Goodnight, Sleep tight, What a Wonderful Flight. I am sure that there are many parents in the world (myself included), who are quite decidedly sick and tired of reading the same favourite picture book night after night. I believe that the words of Oscar Wilde best describe how children should feel about picture books when he said, If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all. Happy Reading!
