Description
A sweet and engaging seek-and-find story that follows the ups and downs of a lost balloon.
What's better than holding onto a brand-new bright orange balloon?
Oh no! What's worse than accidentally letting go of a bright orange balloon and watching it float up . . . up . . . up into the sky?
In this nearly wordless book, sharp-eyed readers will spot something orange and round in every scene as they join an endearing journey from disappointment to hope to a surprise ending better than they could have imagined. A balloon, seek-and-find play, and a (literally) warm-and-fuzzy ending-who could ask for more?
