recommended for:
middle-aged children, a slightly more heavy read than your average Bill Peet
I loved the illustrations!
It was slightly too 1920's "everything is possible if you write it in a book-ish," but the over all effect was cute. It was a lot like 80 Days Around the World, fantastical events and places, people you'd love to meet on your balloon trips, I enjoyed it.
The ending was great!
