Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Roger Priddy is the creator of over two hundred best selling books for young children including Wipe Clean ABC, First 100 Words, and Fuzzy Bee.

When he was at school he couldn't decide between being a patisserie chef or going to art college. On the advice of his father he chose art college and trained as an illustrator before becoming a designer at Usborne Publishing.

Roger's love for children's early learning has led him to create some of the most successful children's non-fiction books, first at Dorling Kindersley (My First Word Book, Incredible Cross Sections and My First Cook Book) before he set up Priddy Books with St. Martins Press in New York where several of his books have sold over a million copies each including First 100 Words, My Big Animal Book and Happy Baby Words.

In total he has sold over 65 million books worldwide and his books have been translated into over 30 languages.

He says "It is always rewarding to see a child enjoying and learning something from one of our books, especially the babies when you think it could be the first book they have ever seen.

I am very lucky to have a career where you get to think up fun ways to teach a kid how to write their letters and learn their first words whilst finding out about Dinosaurs at the same time!"

Roger lives in London and has three children, who have given him most of his best ideas for his books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must before traveling by plane!

My 2 year old loves this book! We got it a week before taking his first plane trip and he's been reading it nonstop. So many great things to look at and it sums up a trip to the airport & all the cool things perfectly! We kept saying, "Wow look at that! Just like in your book!" while at the airport. Super fun. I also appreciate the fair amount of diversity in the illustrations, though there does seem to be an awful lot of blond people... Jk! There are some crazy reviews that ppl have left (check out the one stars!) where several people mention how upsetting it is to see a couple of dudes holding hands (bc that teaches sodomy?!?!!) but kinda crazy that those freaks aren't concerned about the illustrations of a flight attendant sitting on a toilet with her bottoms around her ankles or another guy in his undies! Everybody's gotta pee & lots of people hold hands. It's nice to point these things out to my son. Our family enjoys this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great (big) book for the airplane-obsessed busy-handed toddler
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2017
Verified Purchase
Our son went through a bit of an obsession with this book around 18 months to 24 months. He was deep in an airplane ("ava" as he calls them) phase, and this satisfied his ava needs. We bought this to keep him busy on a flight. Wish it were a bit smaller for that purpose (tight fit in my laptop backpack), but great for all the flaps and all the avas. It continued to be a favorite for many months.
The first page is all about arriving at the airport. As the pages progress, you see maintenance, safety, boarding, on board, different types of planes, and finally arrival in some tropical paradise.
The flaps are pretty sturdy; he's only ripped off one so far. If you have a ripper, maybe wait until that phase has passed.
I also very much appreciate the diversity of people represented in this book. At least 1 colorful mohawk, at least 1 gay couple, people in wheelchairs, different skin colors, different ages, etc. If you are offended by any of that, good luck.

Got this book for my toddler to look at in the car on a 18 hour car trip. It was perfect. He loves the tabs. It's easy to make up stories about what's happening behind the tabs. We had the playtown on too. They are both awesome. Good to keep them busy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for lift the flap fans, but original Playtown is best!
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2016
Verified Purchase
I purchased the original Playtown book and my son loved it because there is so much detail and so many flaps. He also likes to find all of the cats/dogs on each page that seem to be hidden in the scenes. So I thought he would love Airport and while he does like it, it does not hold his attention the way the Playtown book does. It is informative about what is at the airport and the different types of aircrafts, etc. but doesn't seem like there are as many flaps as in the original book. Overall good, but prefer the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved the diversity depicted in the pictures
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016
Verified Purchase
We bought four books to prepare our 2- and 5-year-old sons for their first and fourth (respectively) flights. This was the most helpful of the four; unlike some of the others, it's more technical with what happens in security - which was our biggest concern with taking two small children on a flight. The flaps kept both boys engaged; the information under each flap kept the older boy interested. I loved the diversity depicted in the pictures. This is something my kids don't notice consciously, but it's important for them to see different kinds of people depicted in books, especially since we live in a mostly white town. My husband and I loved the adorable gay couple on the last page. It's so refreshing to see drawings that represent ALL of our friends in one book. I hope that when my boys are older, they won't see two men (or two women) holding hands as something apalling, as some of the other reviewers of this book have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Playtown is much better, but still a beautiful book if you're a fan of Airports.

Nice size book but a little boring for my 3 year old since it is only Airport themed. Our favorite is still "Playtown" because it has so many different places. Here is the link:

5.0 out of 5 stars but they understand what they are seeing (for the most part) and love to open the flaps
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2015

My cousin loves to fly and go through airports, and he has flown with his children since they were infants. They are only 3 years and 18 months old, but they understand what they are seeing (for the most part) and love to open the flaps. I would probably recommend this book for slightly older children. I think the only reason they remain interested in this book is because they do go to airports and have flown numerous times.

1.0 out of 5 stars I could do without the potty humor in a kid's book.
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
It made it through 1 and a half kids, the flaps aren't especially durable and not the easiest to open, which has resulted in most the flaps being torn off by the second child.

Still, I'd rather not have books that let you 'peek in' on people going to the bathroom.

It's a big colorful book. It helps with my 2+ year old kid during the flights.
Because he is young we did not open the flaps, i did not want him to broke it
even if i think it is build with a good quality material.

I bought this for my son when he was 18 months old and he loved it from the start. It's big, bright, colourful, wipe clean, the characters and illustrations are great, and tons and tons of flaps. Four months later and it's still a favourite with him, which says a lot.
