The Blue Balloon by Mick Inkpen
Ten years after it was first published, THE BLUE BALLOON is now a celebrated classic which continues to delight millions of children, taking pride of place on their bookshelves. It is a book to be treasured, loved, read time and time again - and passed on to a whole new generation of children. The day after my birthday party Kipper found a blue balloon in the garden, which was odd because the balloons at my party were red and white . . .
Beautifully illustrated and full of the kinds of visual surprises kids love- What's On (July 1993)Inkpen's pale watercolours against a white background give a cool, calm feel, while the use of pull-out pages and sequences of pictures give an animated feel. Beginner readers will be able to tackle the simple text, but it's a great story to share with all ages. - Junior. July 2000
