Ten Childrens Books That Can Make A Flight Feel Shorter

Wish Kids often travel to fun places across the United States and all over the world. A child’s wish can take them to places like San Francisco, Hawaii and New York. One of the most popular destinations for the children of Make-A-Wish is Disney World in sunny Orlando. Wish Kids love meeting their favorite Disney characters, riding their favorite rides and enjoying a day out in the sun with their family.

Donations from everyday people make these trips possible. Whether you are donating a car or donating airline miles, you can make it easier to grant a wish for a child in need. Once a child has been selected and their trip is planned, they are able to fly with their family to their favorite destination. A long flight can be boring, and can seem even longer when anticipating an exciting new adventure. One of the best ways to pass the time as a Wish Kid is to read a book. We have put together a list of some classic children’s books that Wish Kids love, and your kids can enjoy as well!

Enjoy A Book With Your Child On Your Next Flight

1. “Green Eggs and Ham” – A Dr. Seuss classic about a picky eater who insists he does “not like green eggs and ham” no matter where they are served.
2. “The Berenstain Bears” – It is difficult to just choose one, so we will list the entire series! “The Berenstain Bears” books have been helping children learn important lessons and entertaining families for more than 50 years.
3. “Clifford The Big Red Dog” – The book that turned into an entire series of books is based on the premise of a big red dog who doesn’t quite fit in with his surroundings.
4. “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” – Actions have consequences, and if you give a mouse a cookie, you might be doing more than you initially expected. This classic children’s book is silly, entertaining and fun.

6. “The Cat In The Hat” – One of the most famous Dr. Seuss stories of all time, in which a mischievous cat in a hat entertains and causes trouble for two kids on a rainy day.
7. “Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” – Alexander has a bad day, but learns that everyone has a bad day now and then, no matter where they are from.
8. “Charlotte’s Web” – Maybe known best by the movies it inspired, “Charlotte’s Web” was a successful children’s book before the movies lifted it to superstar status. For more advanced readers, the book is about a pig who develops an interesting friendship with a spider who saved his life.
