(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Brian Selznick. With its burnished imagery and distinctive premise, this Depression-era story begins promisingly but dissolves into a warm puddle of nostalgia. Second-grader Reuben all-too-easily overcomes his fear of flying after his dad, a dance teacher, gets a job performing his dance steps on a plane wing in midair. The chapter book is uplifting but not altogether believable.
