The Campers Learn About Blimps And Take A Ride. Leveled Phonics Picture Book Reader.

Professional illustrator Richard D. "Don" James has a way for children to enjoy the outdoors and the adventure of flight - tissue paper, Kraft paper, even newspaper blimps inflated with hot air from a firebox that he teaches you to make. For the more advanced modelers, there are options for fitting fins and even adding power.

A blimp-a nonrigid dirigible airship to give it its full formal title-is not a trivial construction project, regardless of size. It involves many different skills and an absolute refusal to compromise quality and workmanship. But if you want to build one, this is the only book that can help you do it.
