The first book in the Bad Ideas Book Club, aptly named How to Eat an
Airplane, explains: If you want to eat an airplane, there are a few
things you should know. The truth is, most airplanes are too large to
eat by yourself, so if you want to eat an airplane, you should have a
party. It's fact-based picture book fiction at its most absurd!
By crossing two unrelated topics--dinner etiquette and jet plane
mechanics--How to Eat an Airplane creates an unexpected and absurdly
funny experience for young readers. Inspired by the true story of Michel
Lotito, who from 1978 to 1980 ate an entire Cessna 150 airplane and
holds the Guinness World Record for Strangest Diet, the book covers
everything from setting the table with forklifts and toasting with
engine oil to fastening your seat belts at the table and taking a nice
stretch in between courses--preferably on the airplane's wings.
There's a disclaimer included for anyone who believes the book is an
actual guide--as well as four pages of fascinating and relevant airplane
facts. Perfect for precocious readers and airplane lovers as well as
teachers and parents looking to enjoy something unique and fun.
