Description

"[Jrgen] Stamp's illustrations harken back to Bill Peet in line, palette and sense of humor. Diagrammatic spreads and vignettes help to advance the story while telling visual jokes, and it's hard not to warm to the sight of the goggled Walter in his little red plane. Here's hoping for more to hit these shores."Kirkus Reviews

"Flying High is a fine fable about learning to value the contributions of others as well as an entertaining story. Author Jorgen Stamp's playful illustrations tell the story even more fully."-The Midwest Book Review "...Stamp's illustrations hearken back to Bill Peet in line, palette and sense of humor.
