From the publisher

When a teacher gets stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel at the fair, cranes and planes can’t reach her. The only one who might have a chance is Yellow Copter!

With a rollicking rhyme and candy-colored illustrations, this is the perfect read-aloud for any fan of machines that are big, make loud noises, or fly—or all three at once.

“This picture book about the yellow helicopter called Yellow Copter is light on text, but it introduces some great vocabulary that even I didn't know! Short and simple, but shows what a rescue helicopter can do.”
