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

Just as fun as Stick May 27, 2008

This is a great book. Just like the author's Stick book, it has the potential for additional stories in the artwork. We constantly go off the normal story path to talk about and imagine stories on each page.
It's a lot of fun and inspires the imagination for my 4 and 2 year old children.
What a great find! May 16, 2008

I have a three year old, and it's a little advanced for her, but it still makes the point that girls can make a difference. Besides beautiful illustrations and narration with just the right balance of levity and scientific talk, Violet is a great hero. She's upbeat and determined and has supportive parents to boot.
For a kid like mine who is just beginning to notice the difference in genders, I'm happy to have found this!
