‘And when everyone saw that only tiny Billy
Was holding the balloons, they were really scared SILLY!
“Hold Tight, Billy!” his worried daddy cried.
So Billy held tight and had a magic ride.’
Billy is a young boy who finds himself floating away through the clouds when he holds a bunch of balloons. Different characters, human and animal, scramble to save Billy, but soon find themselves along for the ride. Will Billy be able to return to Earth and will he be able to use the balloons to help Santa Claus and his tired reindeer to deliver their presents on Christmas Eve?
Billy and the Balloons is a festive treat with serious re-readability that children and adults can enjoy together.
