This book was set to introduce kids to the history of the first hot air balloon take off. Instead of being a boring history book that is full of only factual information, the author brings funny creatures and events into it that make it even more interesting and entertaining. This would be a great read for k-3(less)

As I said before, im not big on reading books about history that are just purely factual with no entertainment to keep the reader engaged. This book however, is one that I do like. It is an actual story that you can imagine yourself in as your reading. The reader im sure will feel the same way. This is a great read for 1-3rd. (less)
