Phillip Takes Flight - Hardcover

by Sharon P. Durham (Author), James S. Fleming (Illustrator)

"Phillip Takes Flight" is the second book in the "Phillip's Backpack Adventures" series. There is never a lack of fun and adventure when Phillip hops into Sofia's backpack! In this adorable rhyming book for ages 4-7, Phillip has tried, over and over again to fly like other birds, but he was born with tiny wings that just won't work. He has tried jumping from tall trees and leaping off big rocks, but it always ends in the same way....a total flop! His cute personality, and his whimsical way of always getting situations a little confused, add to the fun. Phillip thinks he is off for a day at the Park where he will sharpen his flying skills, and with Sofia's help, soon be soaring high. Sofia has other ideas, though! Imagine Phillip's surprise when they end up at Cousin Odell's Flying School! The adventure soon turns into something Phillip could never have imaged! There is always more than one way to get up in the sky! The precious story weaves a caring lesson about overcoming adversity and never giving up. In the end, the young reader will feel just as proud of Phillip as Phillip feels of himself!
