God's the One Who Thought of It First (Happy Day Book)1 review
Joan N. Keener

Standard Pub, 1998

God IS the one who thought of it first!!!

This is a really great book. It really shows kids that even though people claim to have "invented" things, like the helicopter, for example, God is really the one who thought of it first! It uses examples from God's amazing creation to show how HE is original inventor! We read it to our Sparkies ...

Aviation Legends Paper Airplane Book1 review
Ken Blackburn

Workman Publishing Company, 2001

good intro to paper scale modeling

I am an avid fan of paper airplane models. I especially like making scale models of real aircraft. After having made all sorts I found this book really nice because of the little history on each plane that the book gives. Though it would have been really good if the models were 3-D and if the plans ...
