I need children's book recommendations

[Deleted]

For books about moving or flying on airplanes. DD will be 3 in November and we're about to move 500 Mike's. We'll live separately from my H for 2 months, as he will move before us, so we'll fly back and forth twice. I'd like a children's book or four that covers these subjects. Any ideas?

Cc: sh10, who will also be moving!

We got this for jr before our first plane trip. He really liked it:

Another thing that helped was showing him pictures of our new home before we got there.

(Editing to remove the link as I decided I'd rather not have my location identifiable by the link to my local library.) I discovered the other week that my library offers lists on their site of books for lots of topics. Here's the moving one, might be a starting point to check out amazon reviews and see which are well rated:

There is a Berenstain Bears Moving Day book. (BB is like Daniel Tiger...they have a book for almost every sticky parenting situation!)

The Noisy Airplane Ride

[minzy]

There are a couple of pages about a friend moving in We Are Girls Who Love to Run (though the target audience might be a few years older than three).

My 3-year old loves the book Five Trucks. Or firs over the types of vehicles you see helping a plane get ready before it leaves the gate and takes off. He loves pointing out and baking the trucks when we're waiting at an airport. and if I'm flying solo and FaceTime him while I'm at the airport, he makes me show him all of the trucks and the planes.
