Review by Booklist Review
Courting reluctant readers and browsers alike, titles in the Biggest, Baddest Books series offer kids magazine-style pages stuffed with full-color, high-resolution photos and bite-size facts about a wide range of fascinating topics. Full of eye-catching diagrams and photos of planes and helicopters, Flight covers the development of flying machines, record-breaking flights, and some unusual aircraft. While the scattershot layout is ideal for casual browsers, a unifying narrative would have been useful for providing context to the panoply of information, and the glossary is less than comprehensive. Still, many kids interested in weird and wild facts will get a kick out of this accessible, punchy series, which might serve as a useful springboard for further reading.--Hunter, Sarah Copyright 2015 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review
This series entry introduces a random array of facts about planes and flying, from the Wright brothers to helicopters, jet engines, and strange flying inventions. Space flight and "Flying Cars of the Future" are briefly touched on. Colorful photographs are accompanied by a captionlike text in a lively page design. This book is best for browsing. Glos.
