The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pène du Bois
5.0
This absolutely enchanted me as a child, and it was still diverting (although obviously the society depicted was impractical!) as an adult—with the first example of co-housing I'd ever read about. I remember being saddened that we didn't have time to explore the entire alphabet and see what kind of cuisine would be served.
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve!
