Until she finds a friend: a magical green balloon that teaches her the true meaning of friendship and loyalty.

WHO: The Balloon Galloon. WHAT: The eater of lost balloons. WHERE: Jackson Hole, Wyomimg. WHEN: 24/7/365. WHY: Somebody's got to do it. The Balloon Galloon is the first book to: 1) present a children's fantasy character for one of life's most enduring mysteries: the inability of children to hold onto their balloons and suffer their losses gracefully; and 2) help parents comfort a child who has just lost a balloon, namely: "There it goes! The balloon is off to the Balloon Galloon and Jackson Hole. And remember what Ping says in the book: 'Be brave. Don't cry. There will always be a brighter day. There will always be another balloon.'" STORY SYNOPSIS: Children all over the world are losing their balloons to a mysterious faraway force. Not satisfied with his usual quota of lost balloons, and mistakenly fearing an impending shortage, the Galloon is luring children's balloons to his lair in Jackson Hole, stockpiling them for the impending shortage to come. Ping happens upon the scene, confronts the Galloon and, using a combination of reason and pressure -- pin pressure to be exact (popping some balloons) -- convinces the Galloon to return the balloons to their rightful owners: the children of the world! The Balloon Galloon is a Picture Book for kids 2-8. Illustrated by Joan C. Waites.

A boy and a girl have a small dream -- to fly across the sky on a magic trip. They climb onto the fantasy balloon and fly across the clear blue sky. Fantasy balloon, where are you going, what would happen, is it fun and amazing? In this picture book full of imagination, Margaret will take the little readers on a fantasy journey from the ground to the sky, and from the city to the wild.

A balloon, surely, is a thing to give you pleasure. Go to almost any fair and you will see them, in a myriad of colours, at stalls, tethered like wild creatures. For a modest sum you can buy one and, if the fancy takes you, you may set it free.So, in your mind's eye now, look at them floating there, filled with helium, eager to be up and away. You have to admit they are fun, they are pure delight, they are a source of innocent joy. But for Richard Thompson, at his school fair, he should never have chosen the third balloon. For the third balloon was something very different indeed.This tale of magic is not about spells. It is about the unpredictable. And if you are hoping to control it, then perhaps you will need all the luck in the world, and then some.
