Does anyone know of any good books for young children to teach them about flying for the first time?
Answer:
your local barnes and noble bookstore has a great section of travel books for sale that are aimed toward kids, and include games involving flights, and activity books that help build up excitement before the trip, keep them occupied during the flight with vacation with trip based word searches, hangman, etc, and some books even have a "my trip" diary in them. The book I bought for my son was roughly $8, but he loved it, and it made his first plane trip much better; this was about 4 years ago, so the prices shouldn't have changed too much. There are a couple links in the source section for you, just to give you an idea, including a kids guide to walt disneyworld by kids. Sometimes, thinking about the final destination is enough in itself to get them brave enough to ignore that flight!
This may be a little off topic, but sometimes, a new video game saved especially for the trip (game boys are a LIFE SAVER for moms when kids travel) can make all the difference in the world... especially if they have headphones!

There will probably be a topsy and tim book about flying to go on holiday somewhere.
My first thought was David McPhail's First Flight, which is about a little boy and his teddy bear (who is shown as a full size bear) on their first airplane trip. The bear is worried, misbehaves during the movie, etc. and the little boy takes care of him. McPhail's illustrations are utterly charming, and he's done a series of books with this same boy and bear.
You don't say how young they are, but We're Going on an Airplane: Ragged Bears by Steve Augarde is pull the flap book about airplanes.
You might also go to your local public library and check with the children's librarian. There are some good non-fiction books about airplanes with pictures of the pilots, cockpits, etc.

My 7 yr old just finished enjoying reading Barbara Park's, "Junie B. Jones, Aloha ha.where she rides on a plane for the first time when her family goes on a vacation to hawaii. He enjoyed her descriptive prose about what it felt like on the airplane. We used to fly a lot when he was a baby but of course he has no inkling of those times.
