Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm by Jerdine Nolan & Mark Buehner

book jacketTold through the eyes of a girl growing up in the 1920's, this tall tale is about the mysterious and wonderful balloon farm of Harvey Potter. Nobody knows how this quiet farmer grows the balloons that literally crop up in his farm, but our young narrator wants to find out. What she discovers will inspire her to grow her own balloon farm. This enchanting book will delight readers with its magical tale and vivid illustrations. I recommend this book for ages 6 and up.

Beaten by a Balloon by Margaret Mahy & Jonathan Allen

book jacketSam Appleby wants a plastic sword and toy lazer guns just like his friend, but his dad won't get him any violent toys. Instead, Sam gets a balloon and a sunflower, both of which are boring to Sam. But little does he know how helpful these items are when it comes to defeating a bank robber. I really the liked the way the bank robber is captured, very MacGyver-like. Great books for ages 5 and up.
