The Airport Book
The Airport Book | Lisa Brown
16 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
Follow a family and the youngest member's favorite sock monkey through all the inner and outer workings of an airport. In a book that is as intriguing as it is useful and entertaining, we follow a family on its way through the complexities of a modern-day airport. From checking bags and watching them disappear on the mysterious conveyor belt, to security clearance and a seemingly endless wait at the gate to finally being airborne. But wait! There's more! The youngest family member's sock monkey has gone missing. Follow it at the bottom of the page as it makes a journey as memorable as that of the humans above.

#StorySettings Day 3: #AirportOrPlane - posting in advance because will be in an airport and plane (3 in total) tomorrow as we travel Abu Dhabi ➡️ Doha ➡️ Oslo ➡️ Bodø just like tomorrow‘s prompt. Over and above this picturebook providing a detailed description of what to expect in airports, the “diverse” element is a given rather than explicitly articulated or pounded over the head of the reader. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dfD

I just landed in Seattle but before we left the Anchorage airport early this morning I snapped a pic of this awesome service!

LiteraryinPA That‘s a great idea! 5y
LiteraryinPA It would be especially cool if lots of airports had them so you could drop it back off at your destination. 5y

#ReadingResolutions Day 8: This book is absolutely perfect for #TravelTuesday with a “Where‘s Waldo?” vibe to the narrative that gets the reader to follow each traveler closely- to see where their story takes you. There is a dynamism in the storyline that is discernible yet subtle at the same time - gripping the reader.

4⭐️ This is a simple book. It explains what happens when you take a plane trip. Going to the airport. Lines, scans, etc. It‘s well done. And for those looking for more diverse books, this one is about a biracial family going to visit their grandparents.

readinginthedark I like Lisa Brown‘s work! 7y

alanacristin Oh, I'm happy to see Kavalier and Clay there! 😍 that's unexpected for me. But maybe there's something in the works? Anyhow, yes to airport book buying 😀 7y
BarbaraJean I'm so weird about airport bookstores. On a trip to the U.K. with a friend, she stopped at the airport bookstore to get reading material for the long flight... and I totally judged her for not planning ahead, as I indulgently stroked my supply of books in my carry-on. And yet airport bookstores have saved me when I've read my supply faster than anticipated!! (edited) 7y
Reviewsbylola Some surprising but good choices! 7y
Leftcoastzen I am always loaded down with books & magazines at the airport , but will ALWAYS check out the airport store! You never know what you might find. 7y
RealLifeReading @Aswenson didn't buy anything but I just love visiting bookstores! 7y
RealLifeReading @BrandiFolsom it's a great read! 7y
Zelma I love a good airport bookstore. Sometimes they are excellent bookstores in their own right, not just a place to stock up on the latest bestsellers. 7y

Book outlet mail! I'm so happy about the airport book. Allister has decided he's afraid of planes but, because he's five, it's because he thinks you have to jump out of them. There's a book for every situation. Also this book has so much representation. It's so good.

We love this book. It depicts an interracial family taking a trip to visit grandparents. Goes step by step through everything that happens in an airport and on the plane. Helpful to walk a child through before a trip. #diversepicturebooks #marchintoreading

Getting ready to travel so this article caught my eye. Has anyone been asked to remove their books at the airport? #booksmakingnews https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/travelandleisure/airlines-airports/ts...

Suzze Hmmm. I've never had this problem. Probably because I haven't flown since 1972. 😜😜 8y
Kristy_K This is weird. I travelled a few times last year with a backpack full of books and was never asked. Maybe it's a 2017 thing. 8y
