If you’re interested in making money with stocks, you’re not alone. A recent Gallup poll showed that nearly 6 in 10 American adults have money in the stock market. But unless you’ve previously worked as an investment banker, you might have better odds of making money at the casino than with stocks. In fact, researchers from the University of California found that 90 percent of retail investors and day traders lose money. Which is why most people think winning in the stock market is simply a game of chance.

From changing diapers to putting away toys, some parental jobs can be shared–but there is one that only you can master: the dad jokes! Little people are easy to entertain. They will laugh at the cheesy pizza joke that we have all heard a million times. But as children grow up, dads have to up their humor game. Your child might be able to watch their favorite movie a hundred times, but a dad joke can go from funny to old in less than a week. Traditionally, dad jokes will range from hilarious to an eye-rolling cringe. And told the right way to a group, you can get all the reactions in between.

Technology like telescopes and space shuttles are quite new, so before we could really investigate space, people would make up stories about what they thought was up there.

This AudioBook Is Fun!
Second I've listened to with the grandkids from this author. In this era of video games and IPads, it's hard garnering kids' attention. But any inquisitive youngster should love learning this way. Great for grownups as well, and the perfect companion for a family on a long road trip! Good stuff. Gets everyone talking and thinking AND realizing they just became a bit smarter.

Awesome!
Great content, great delivery, great listening experience.
Well who does not love airplanes? This book is a delight to listen to as it takes us through the early fascinating days of man's adventure into the world of flight by way of the airplane all the way to the present day.
The writer takes us through those first crude 12 seconds over 120 feet at a field in North Carolina, through the golden age of aviation, to the breaking of the sound barrier via the sonic boom, all the way to the modern day when we hopefully dream of all that is possible with flight.
Filled with insight about the wonderful world of airplanes, the narrator delivers the information in a way that leaves you captivated with every bit of trivia, and has you longing for more all along the way.
You'll be amazed by the stories, the heroes, the dreamers and the others who contributed to give us the wonderful world of aviation we have to day.
Get ready for an exciting journey.

101% FUN!!!
This audiobook delivered 101% of awesome airplane facts! The facts fly by fast and furious, keeping listeners of all ages entertained and educated. I learned so much that I never knew about different parts of planes, aviation history and inventors, crazy records set by aircraft, and the science behind how things fly. The author made learning about planes an absolute joy ride with humor, great narration, and plenty of amazing trivia. The perfect audiobook for any kid with their head in the clouds. I couldn't recommend it more highly!

Fun, Exciting and Well-Presented!
DW Gannett has hit a home run with this and his other books in the series. The production value is out of sight with music and sound effects of airplanes and engines swooping through the air. The writing is top-notch, and the narration is very well done. I'm an airplane freak, so I loved it, but kids (and grown-ups) of all interests will really dig this audiobook and the others in this series by the author. Do yourself and your kids a favor and listen to this audiobook. You'll be glad you did. I am.

You Will Love These Airplane Facts!
This is an exciting and engaging audiobook that will teach you so much about airplanes and aviation history!
Listening to all 101 facts would be a great way to pass the time on a family road trip, or in small chunks throughout the week while in the car. Excellent gift idea for children or families.
I loved the memory trick for learning Bernoulli's principle in a way it would probably be impossible to forget!

Fun and Engaging
The fun facts in this book are laid out as engaging stories that really suck you in. That is 100% the BEST way to teach material to anybody —kids and adults alike. The author also teaches poems as memory devices to help facts stick.
The book starts out describing physics principles that get broken down and explained, and if you're still lost (like me) the author takes you through very simple and very cool experiments kids (and adults that can't wrap their head around physics concepts like me, ha!) can replicate at home.
The book takes you through the history of human's obsession with flying, from Icarus, Leonardo Da Vinci, the Wright brothers, war planes, the Red Baron, Charles Lindbergh and his transatlantic journey, Bessie Coleman, Amelia Earhart and women pioneers, and how aviation evolved throughout the years to today including airliners breaking the sound barrier, the SR71 that flew from LA to DC in 1 hour, and so much more.
Did you know that Amelia Earhart was an entrepreneur? Neither did I. She came out with a clothing line (and modeled it) for functional but feminine clothing, AND she came out with a line of lightweight bags and suitcases (since she flew she knew the importance of lightweight luggage). So cool!
