Book Reviews of The Red Balloon (Oberon Book)
Book Review: An Unusual Friend
Summary: 5 Stars
Pascal's mother does not allow him to have any pets. And since he has no brothers or sisters, this makes life very lonely. So, it is a lucky day when he discovers a beautiful, big, red balloon.
He also discovers this is no ordinary balloon. Although it is sometimes naughty and seems to have a mind of its own, the red balloon becomes a loyal friend. Pascal's mother, the school principal and a local gang give Pascal and the balloon a lot of trouble, but friendship can overcome such trouble as this.
And it is because of this friendship a TERRIBLE tragedy happens, but because of this awful event a WONDERFUL happening takes place. This may seem unusual...and it is. (This modern fantasy is suitable for the primary grades.)
