5.0 out of 5 stars It should become a chidhood classic., December 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Balloon Tree (Hardcover)

The Balloon Tree is a simple story that young children will quickly become engrossed in. Children relate well to the balloon as it is within their realm of experience. Add to the story the magnificant presentation in the illustrations this book will bring many hours of pleasure. My niece has a hardback copy of this book. It lives on the Special Book shelf in her room and when we read it togeth we spend a lot of time looking at the detail in the illustration. We have our favourite page that still brings ooohhhs and aaahhhs when we turn the page. Get this one.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Balloon Tree (Paperback)

The Balloon Tree by phoebe Gilman is a great book for kids. It expresses a great sence of imagination with a wonderful happily ever after ending. The Balloon Tree is a classic tale of good triumphing over evil.

This review is from: The Balloon Tree (Paperback)

this story is about a princess who loves balloons and uses them to rid the kingdom of evil, with the help of some friends. it's a cute story with a simple but effective message. i love phoebe gliman, she writes amazing children's books that, though they are nothing complex, are truly epic. one of those stories you'll remember when you're older. this one isn't my favourite by her, i prefer something from nothing, or jillian jiggs, but this one is great as well... exactly what i would expect from her. i recommend this author.
