Lovely watercolors portray a great and diverse planet teeming with life at all times of day and night. People and animals of every shape, color, size, and costume are seen, busy at work and play. As the yellow balloon floats through many time periods - ancient, medieval, and contemporary - and realms both natural and supernatural, young readers can also look for the small blue car, the fakir on his flying carpet, and the scoundrel in prison garb. This story will fascinate young readers as they embark on a lively and fun-filled journey around the globe. Review: Superb book on many levels - This is one of my all-time favorite gift books to friends with young children. At first it appears that it consists of a series of large, highly detailed paintings. On a closer look you can see a series of "stories": a man is arrested in the first panel, escapes from prison in the second, and appears in a striped prison uniform in all the rest of the pages. In the last, he returns home to the house from which he was arrested. Similarly, a man buys a rug in one picture, unfolds it in the next, and is found flying through much of the others until he meets up with... well, take a look! This book is great for pre-literate kids. You can treat it as a puzzle book, or as a story book. I like to use it as a jumping off point for storytelling: where did the giraffe truck come from? Why? Where is the blue car going to go next? How did it get on the island? Is the castle battle real or is it a movie? Can you follow the mountain trail to find out how to get to the bottom? There are many connecting "threads" that flow from page to page (but are not present on every page). Trying to discover them has given us hours of bedtime enjoyment. What I love about this book is its open-endedness. This is far more than a "Where's Waldo" book. Its an opportunity for creativity and discovery. Review: The book every child and adult should read/see right now - Such a great concept! Not a single word, but every picture speaks a thousand words about our world and how we are all connected, but still so different. I love the fact that the pictures let you paint the picture you want to see and discover the tiny details and stories behind them. Definitely recommend a glance for every child and adult in this day and age. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,696,861 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #23,616 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) #42,788 in Children's Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 80 Reviews | ## Images ![The Yellow Balloon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61n0r9UiKIS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb book on many levels *by K***N on July 9, 2006* This is one of my all-time favorite gift books to friends with young children.
