Simon Scott’s Dream of Flying
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Simon flew over the barn and farm house and waved at his mommy and daddy below. He flew over the cows, the dog Jack, the cats, and the pond with ducks. He flew over the corn fields too and saw an eagle flying above him.
The more Simon flew, the more he began to use his airplane to help others. He would search for horses and cows lost by farmers when the animals would get through the fences.

About the Book
Simon Scott lives on a farm with his mother, father, brother and sister. At night he sometimes dreams of flying like a bird. In his dreams he can feel the wind through his hair as he soars above the treetops. His dreams are so much fun that he wishes he could really fly when he wakes up. He never tires of watching birds fly overhead, especially the big, strong eagles. Simon even tries to fly himself. He flaps his arms the way the birds flap their wings, but he never leaves the ground. As Simon grows older, he realizes he cannot fly with his arms, but he can build an airplane. Building an airplane is a lot of hard work, and Simon will need help to bring his dream of flying to life. Will Simon’s family be able to help him get off the ground, or are his dreams just too high up in the clouds?
