The Red Balloon Floats Away

A red balloon slips from a small hand and sails straight up past the swings, over the ducks, and between two chimneys before the chase even begins. Bryony Fallowfield's gentle adventure follows one child's determined journey through a familiar city turned suddenly strange and exciting. Best for listeners ages four to seven who like small dramas with safe endings. Nell Pockett reads with the calm patience of a good teacher, letting each moment breathe so children can picture every corner, bridge, and doorstep along the way home.
