Where Do Balloons Go by Jamie Lee Curtis, and illustrated by Laura Cornell, is an uplifting mystery of where balloons really do go. Cornell does a good job of illustrating the balloons in human roles as the young narriorator, as a boy accidentally let go of his balloon string and wonders, “Where do they go when they float far away?” “Do they ever catch a cold and need somewhere to stay?” In this part of the book Cornell illustrates the balloon sitting in a doctors waiting room, and another approaching a hotel with its string attached to a suit case. In other cases throughout the book, balloons, write post cards home, “cha-cha with birds,” on the wings of an airplane, dine in restaurants, and write postcards home. Bursting with colors and all different shapes of balloons, Cornell does a great job with providing a diversion for young readers. This book is recommended for children ages 4-8 and in a grade level of either First or Second grade. Furthermore, it does a good job of giving children an imagination of where balloons really go when they fly away from them. This book could be a great way of showing children that, when their balloons do fly away they shouldn't be sad, they should be happy because they are flying away to have an adventure way up in the sky.

This book was neat because it showed different adventures that baloons could take. I really liked the differnt places that the book went. I love all the colors of the book as well.

a crazy story that asks the question what happens we lose a balloon and what kind of adventure they can have

Gets them thinking about different situations that could happen to balloons. Uses vocabulary. ( )

My favorite from Jamie Lee Curtis. Madu like to ask questions about the funny pictures. There are all sorts of hidden jokes there. ( )
