Illustrated by
Dan Andreasen.
Three animate canine toys have aerial adventures, zipping around the kitchen in a plane and a helicopter. Muted oil illustrations depict the intrepid trio as they dodge the towering dishes, navigate the foggy steam from the teakettle, and rescue a toy train conductor. Though the rhyming text is singsongy, young fliers will enjoy the air-traffic references ("Double-check the / radar screen").
