Publisher's Synopsis
The first adventure of a red balloon that was born just today and the story of how he found his best friend the frog. Soon the red balloon will be floating the frog on and in and for adventures in the big blue and blue. At first glance the "Red Balloon and Frog" books appear to be simple stories to read. They are not. They have unusual phrasing, cadence, word play, subtleties, humor, and levels of meaning that speak to the older as well as the young reader. These stories are more than just words, they are sounds and cadence and most of all ideas.
