Summary: Did you ever wonder how a balloon is made?  This wonderful book illustrates the process of balloon making – from collecting the sap from rubber trees, to the factory, and then all the way to the store.  Bright, colorful illustrations and simple rhyming text make this book an educational treasure!  This book will inspire your child’s curiosity about where things come from. 

Review: I love this book!  The illustrations tell so much of the story, along with the rhyming text (and who doesn’t like rhyming text?).  There is a little green bird to follow on all the pages, just in case the balloon making process isn’t enough for you!  At the end of the book is a section called “For Creative Minds”.  It has some good ideas to further expand the discussion of balloon making.  A wonderful book, with a lot of information told in a very fun way. Also available in Spanish at the Round Lake Area Public Library.
