Camel and the Tiger Moth

The Camel and the Tiger Moth is a narrative about a trip to a vintage air show.  Theo and Conor have fun with their dad, but Conor is horrified when he wins a ticket to ride in a biplane.  His distress turns to happiness when he figures out what to do with the ticket.  The story is told in dialogue and narrative.

The story has a problem solution structure.  The text is composed of a variety of sentence types.  Illustrations support the text but not all events are illustrated.  The book concludes with a two-page spread that tells how to write a narrative.

Some words may require clarification: seeping, supercilious, mimicked, skirted, flimsy, emblems, taxied, throttle, banked.  Similes: seeping like a gloomy mist, coughing like a sick lawnmower.  Metaphor: half-finished thoughts scrambled through his mind.
