Book Reviews of Violet the Pilot

Book Review: Wonderful story, great artwork
Summary: 5 Stars

I happened across this book at our local library and it instantly became an all-time favorite of my three-year old son. He is allowed three stories each night and he always wanted to hear Violet the Pilot. Strong story and great artwork make for a book that not only captivated my son, but kept me from becoming bored after 20+ readings.

Summary of Violet the Pilot

By the time she's two years old, Violet Van Winkle can fi x nearly any appliance in the house. And by eight she's building elaborate fl ying machines from scratch-mind-boggling contraptions such as the Tubbubbler, the Bicycopter, and the Wing-a-ma-jig. The kids at school tease her, but they have no idea what she's capable of. Maybe she could earn their respect by winning the blue ribbon in the upcoming Air Show. Or maybe something even better will happen-something involving her bestever invention, a Boy Scout troop in peril, and even the mayor himself!

A classic underdog story full of humor and sweetness and retro pizzazz, Violet the Pilot is both endearing and adorable. It'll fl y right into your heart.
