"Airplane invitations are called tickets," says the narrator. "Make sure they're first-class." Our host is this dog, who explains: greet your guests at the gate and offer to stow their carry-on; you don't want it to be eaten by mistake. Readers are treated to this real-life dinner party-complete with spoons, knives, and forklifts-where toasts are made with glasses of jet fuel, seat belts are fastened at the table, the main course is the fuselage, and of course there's dessert-an ice-cream truck.

Inspired by Michel Lotito, who actually ate an entire Cessna, airplane facts are included in the back matter.
