Petro the Brave Little Cargo Plane, (Paperback)

Petro was the smallest airplane to ever enter the county air race. But that didn't matter to Maxie, the farm boy who built him. Constructed of metal salvaged from a silo struck by a fallen star, Petro has a special power-and an exciting story that takes us on a journey of perilous ups and downs. The little plane has encounters with a band of conniving crows, a frightful Kerplunkity-plunk crushing machine and a terrifying thunderstorm-all of which leads to the real purpose of his special power (and it's something far more important than any air race!) With 62 color illustrations, a little Christmas and a surprise ending, Petro is a tale that will inspire and delight young readers for years to come.
