The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pène du Bois

3.0

I am not quite sure how to rate this, as it is one of those books I remember so fondly from childhood and all my kids adored it, and yet I felt a bit of letdown that it wasn't as endearing as I remembered. This was part of our homeschool studies and did provide lots of talking points for geography, geology, and other science topics, and all my kids gave it at least 4 stars. It just read clunkier than I remembered, and it wasn't love for me the second go.
