Hot Air: The (Mostly) True Story of the First Hot-Air Balloon Ride

Based on the (POSSIBLY) true report of a day in 1783, this is the story of (PERHAPS) the bravest collection of flyers the world has ever seen, as (SORT OF) told to Marjorie Priceman. Follow the air-borne antics of this collection of flyers which include a duck, sheep, and rooster. This 40-page book has only seven pages that have text on them; the others are two-page spreads of wordless, bold illustrations. 40 pages HB"
