Please Bring Balloons by Lindsay Ward
4.0

AGE: Preschool-1st grade
Animals: Polar Bears

A fantastical story of Emma, a child that is asked by a carousel polar bear to bring balloons--and lots of them. Upon tying the balloons to the bear's saddle, and climbing aboard, Emma and the bear float away with the wind toward the North Pole where a polar bear rumpus was taking place. The artwork is definitely a scrapbooker's dream with a lovely collection of paper patterns. The story is soft and whimsical (perhaps targeting older girls) with adventure and travel, not too long and not too short--perfect for bedtime.
