Great preschool fun

I first heard this read by the teacher at preschool and the kids and I were anxiously waiting for each page turn. Fun illustrations and concepts.

expect the unexpected!

This book was great fun to read to my son around age 4, now even better at age 5 (since he says he knows EVERYTHING) so with the little boy going from something that seems like a good situation quickly turning into a bad one and vice versa, it was entertaining and let my son know it's OK and fun if you don't know exactly what's going to happen next.
I think this is a good book for a parent/child library since we all know children love the security they feel in their routines, but this book makes it OK and funny and silly to not know what is going to happen. If you have a child that insists they know everything, this might help them get over having to know everything.
I kinda like to read it in an over-the-top way and act surprised when good turns to bad/bad turns to good.

A little boy tumbles through adventure after adventure

What if a balloon was so big it carried you away? That's what happens to the poor little boy in this story when his parents buy him a balloon at the zoo. What follows is a wonderfully imaginative and beautifully illustrated adventure packed full of wild animals and hair-raising situations.

My daughter loved this and has asked us to read it to her many times. It's delightful for parents, too, which is always a plus for the story-reader!

My son loves this book!

My 3 year old son loves the repetition in this book. The illustrations are vibrant and keep his attention well. We read this book over and over and over... I highly recommend it!

Very imaginative

I have this book with a tape. I got the set from the children's scholastic magazine. I don't know if my kids would have enjoyed this book as much with out the tape. The tape has great background sounds. The Illustrations are very well done. And The idea of something seeming like it would be good, but then turning out bad and The other way around is very easy to understand in this book. A young boy gets lost from his parents and ends up in and out of danger until he makes his way back to his mom and dad. I would recommend this book for 4 to 6 year olds. The book does show the boy being chased by some angry scarry animals, I know this would be too scarry for my sensitive 2 1/2 year old, but my daughter loved this book when she was around 4 years old.
