Really liked the illustrations and colors. I liked the idea the child believed in something and it happened.

October 2016 - Ben had hilarious predictions about what would happen to each animal, and really loved the silliness of the ending. Rereading it with him, I liked the illustrations even more.

A very cute book about a boy who wonders if balloons can make various animals fly at the zoo.

Very sparse text and subtle action. Not sure most kids will notice the small details.

Great imagination, love how the pictures support the text and then tell part of the story themselves. Has some interesting classroom uses for ratio and proportion and measurement and weight.

A sweet read although I don't recommend it for storytime. I could see it as a great discussion book when reading together with an adult.
