Bookroo's summary
At the fair, a teacher is trapped high on a Ferris wheel. Cranes and planes fail to reach her, leaving Yellow Copter as the only hope. Will this flying machine succeed in the daring rescue? With vibrant illustrations and rhythmic storytelling, this adventure is perfect for young fans of big, noisy, flying machines.
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.”
