A Boy, A Bear, A Balloon by Brittany Rubiano - ADVISABLE

A Boy, A Bear, A Balloon by Brittany Rubiano, illustrated by Mike Wall. PICTURE BOOK. Disney Press (Disney Book Group), 2018. $17.  9781368025881

BUYING ADVISORY: EL(K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

A picture book reflecting the recent movie about a grown-up Christopher Robin coming back to the Hundred-Acre Wood. The beloved Disney characters inspired by the A. A. Milne books are all there. Christopher Robin is a bit “frownier” and somewhat impatient, but through misadventure he finds he still has affection for his old friends and things end well.

There is humorous appeal for adults as well as children. It is gentle and pleasant like the Disney cartoon. A book to be read to a child, or to yourself.
