Product Description
Product Description
Billy saw it Mummy bought it Man threw it Billy caught it…
When Billy spots a beautiful, big, stripy balloon in the park one day, Mummy buys it for him. But Billy doesn’t manage to hold on to it for long, and soon he and Mummy, and Puppy, are chasing it all over the park.
This charming story of a little boy’s adventure in the park is told in a rhythmic style that can’t fail to keep the reader turning the pages with the momentum of the chase. Accompanied by the author’s endearing illustrations, young children will want to return this to this book again and again.
From the Back Cover
Billy's balloon is lots of fun
It makes him jump and skip and run
When it floats away – he starts to race
Open the book – enjoy the chase

Format:Paperback
Not only is this an engaging and beautifully illustrated story about a boy and his balloon, it's also the only book I've seen for children my daughter's age (22 months) that concentrates exclusively on the use of verbs rather than nouns. We love it.

Lovely big bright illustrations in story board format, with fabulous rhyming text. My 2 yr old adores this book and I have to read it again and again and again whenever he finds it. Highly recommended to any young toddler!

Be prepared to read this over and over again. "Again please" --- and away we go again! Helps to discover things in the pictures to talk about but the simplicity of this book makes it a treasure to those little friends I have had the pleasure to share it with.
