When Angela's father gets lost at the airport, she looks for him everywhere, even inside an airplane. But when Angela's love of button-pressing proves too great, she finds herself in charge of flying the plane. Can Angela make it back down to the runway? A newly designed Classic Munsch picture book introduces this junior pilot to a new generation of young readers.
