ISBN:  9780545213424 0545213428 Edition:  1st ed. Description:  1 v. (unpaged) : col. ill. ; 31 cm. Notes:  "Michael Di Capua books". Summary:  On Christmas morning, Jack meets his “best toy pal,” Captain Sky Blue, a pilot figurine who springs from his box and salutes his new friend. Together, Jack and Sky build a plane from a kit and send Sky on aerial missions. Then lightning destroys the little aircraft, and Sky parachutes away but is blown far from home. Egielski’s action-packed artwork hits its full, fantastical stride in the subsequent scenes, which follow Sky deep into the ocean, where he explores both a whale’s belly and a submarine, until a magic elevator sends him straight into the dry haven of Santa’s workshop. After repackaging himself as a gift for Jack, Sky faces one more perilous flight: he helps Santa steer his sleigh through a driving storm safely to Jack’s house, where the friends joyfully reunite. Piling scenes on with the rapid-fire, “and-then-and-then” rhythm of a young child telling a story, this gleefully silly adventure tale, filled with pilotspeak (“Check six!” “Throttle back!”), all defined in a glossary, will easily please fans of Mini Grey’s Traction Man books.Separated from his favorite toy pilot action figure, young Jack envisions his lost friend's brave journey back home across the ocean, in a story complemented by a glossary of pilot terms.
