Review of 'The Twenty-One Balloons' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

what a charming book. no wonder the man won the Newberry with it. filled with fanciful inventions, immense treasure, and high risk adventure, this book might even get my youngest reading beyond comic books. even hubby remembered this tale from school and was thrilled to see it on our kitchen counter.
