Yellow copter gets a call to help someone stuck on the ferris wheel and saves the day
6 books

The illustrations in this book are so colorful and bright. The story is told using onemonepnoeia. The noises for the helicopter taking off were, "flup flup flup." The teacher being saved said, "Wheeeee!" The main idea of the book was that helicopters are the perfect flight unit for steady air jobs. I recommend using this book for preschoolers or kindergarteners. ( )

A yellow rescue helicopter is the hero of the day when a teacher is stuck at the top of a Ferris wheel. ( )

This is a board book adaptation of a 2015 picture book.

When a teacher gets stuck at the top of a ferris wheel, yellow copter comes to the rescue. The story is sprinkled with a few simple vocabulary words, "tail boom" and "rotors" and some fun helicopter sounds. The simple rhyming text is just right for toddlers and preschoolers. The digital illustrations are minimal and have plenty of color, albeit in soft pastels. Yellow copter is a soft yellow against a blue background with red highlights, while more colors burst out in the fair and other scenery.

The board book is a sturdy 6x5 rectangle and has standard chunky pages and tough binding.

Verdict: Toddlers who are into transportation will happily cuddle up for this simple story. If you're looking to expand your transportation or board book sections, this is a good choice.
