Mommy, Tell Me a Story About a Plane, 2nd Edition Kristi Grimm Revised edition

MOMMY CAN YOU TELL ME A STORY ABOUT A PLANE: One that swoops and soars even in the rain? Maybe with penguins and whales, like in those fairy tales. Once upon a time, a little plane named Hugh loved to fly and play with the birds from morning until night. But now he is a tired old plane who cannot soar fast in the sky-even when he tries with all his might. One day as Hugh sits in his hangar feeling sad and alone, a bird perches on his wing and begins to sing. The bird then invites Hugh to fly to the South Pole to help Trevor-a bird who cannot fly. Hugh suddenly realizes he has something to do! Even though he cannot fly fast anymore, Hugh takes his new friends on an unforgettable ride to the sun, where dreams really do come true.
