Reviews

[Portable]

This is a wonderful story about the power of ideas, working together, and of letting go. Billy Bean has a dream of building a spaceship, and his dream is so powerful that all the other beans want to help. But when the spaceship is ready to launch, someone needs to stay behind to help get it started. Billy doesn't mind, he already has a new idea. Children love the vivid illustrations, and there is so much to talk about.
