| Book Name: The Paper Airplane Book Date Reviewed: 11 November 2006 Author: Seymour Simon ISBN# ? Year of original book/Year of my copy - 1971/1973 Pages - 48 pages Cover Price - $.75 Number of Planes - 5 Planes Names of Planes - No named planes Level of difficulty - 3 out of 10 Comments: A great first book of paper airplanes for a young child. This book is a nice, gentle read, with great experiments throughout it's entirety. It teaches children all about the important forces that act upon any anircraft in flight, and how to use flaps, rudders and ailerons to control your flight. There are instructions on how to make a drinking straw dart as well. I rate this book a 9, for young or first time paper airplane makers. The only reason I don't rate it a 10, is because I believe a beginner's book needs more than 5 designs. Older, more experienced paper airplane pilots will more than likely have seen these designs before. Total Score: 9 out of 10! |

| Plane #1 Standard Dart. No paper was included in the book. The paper I am using I bought at a craft store, and it was intended to be used for scrapebooking. But being 8 1/2" by 11" makes it perfect for colorful paper airplanes too! |
| Plane #2 Acrobatic Plane. |
| Plane #5 A Flying Wing Plane. |
| Bonus Plan#1 A Straw Dart. |
