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!
