My sister and I have been hunting for helicopter-themed books for her toddler, who lives near an airbase, sees them often, and is obsessed with them. He's okay with airplanes and firetrucks and whatnot, but he loves helicopters the most. I was really pleased to do a search and find this one. He loves it!
Last weekend, I was helping to keep him occupied while my sister and brother-in-law did some stuff around the house that was too dangerous for an 18month old toddler to be underfoot. He started to get annoyed at not being let into the party, so I pulled out Yellow Copter. We read it four times in a row, then he "read" it to me, pointing out the pictures he liked and showing me the matching toys.
The plot is ultra simple and the pictures move somewhat slowly, so it's really easy to embellish the story as you read and make up sound effects in addition to the ones on the page. I wasn't sure about the ferris wheel and Teacher being stuck on top, but my nephew understands "stuck" and "up high", and there's so many stories about fire trucks using their ladders, it seems to be okay. Over the next dozen or so times we read it together, he especially liked the pages with the pilot. (It just so happened that the following weekend, we took him to Disney World for the first time, and he is obsessed with going up high in Dumbo - just like the helicopter pilot, come to think of it.)
I doubt my other nephew or niece would be nearly so taken with this book, but for our helicopter-obsessed kid, it's perfect.

Great for toddler who love helicopters
My son who is 2 years old (26 months) really likes this book. He loves to just stare at all the pages especially the one in this picture and asks me to read it over and over. I recommend it for any toddler who loves helicopters, planes or Ferris wheels. The book arrived quickly & in perfect condition.
