Peek Inside How a Helicopter Works

By Lara Bryan

Peek inside a helicopter cockpit to see how the controls work, then use flaps to help it take off, and find and rescue a hiker from a mountain. Emergency vehicles are a talking point for many young children, and this reassuring story of how a helicopter flies to help a stranded mountain climber and take them safely to hospital is a lovely first way to explore the topic, with the added fascination of an unusual rescue vehicle. Young children will love the playful flaps and peek-holes, which create an interactive learning experience while they satisfy their curiosity about helicopters.

Biography

Lara has loved books since the days of being read bedtime stories by her Irish dad and French mum. At school she set up a secondhand bookshop called Books Change Lives, and went on to study English and Italian at Oxford University. After teaching in Italy and Myanmar, she got her dream job as a writer for Usborne Publishing. From explaining how economics works, to inventing boredom-busting activities, to telling a good dragon yarn, she’s enjoyed every minute of the job.
