If You Had a Jetpack

Illustrated by Linzie Hunter
A fun and creative answer to the question "what would YOU do if you had a jetpack?" perfect for fans of Boy and Bot and How to Train a Train.

Having a jetpack is fun--if you know what to do with one.

If you had a jetpack, you could:
  • Teach your brother how to build one too.
  • Demonstrate its usefulness at Show and Share Time at school.
  • Give your principal a ride home.
  • Fly south to visit your nana.
  • Visit the astronauts on the space station and help with anything that needed fixing.
  • Join one inventive little rabbit as he and his brother put their new jetpack to good use!


    "An energetic, crowd-pleasing read-aloud that can be revisited again and again."--SLJ

    "This vivid picture book will leave kids longing for jetpacks, while taking off on their own flights of fancy."--Booklist
