When a young girl visits a carousel, she discovers an intriguing note tucked under the polar bear's saddle: "Please bring balloons." Once she has attached two whole bunches of balloons, the girl and bear float off on a whimsical adventure to the North Pole.
What a wonderful story! The text is delightful -- dreamy and imaginative and intriguing, with a hint of future adventures. The illustrations are gorgeous as well, the kind I would happily frame and hang on a wall if it didn't mean destroying a lovely book.
