Emma discovers a note on the polar bear one day as she got on to ride. Taking the note seriously, she brings the request: one balloon. More notes emerge, more mystery ensues, and more excitement erupts. Included in the exploration are falling snowflakes, a long trek on a polar bear, and cold weather. This book was sheer fun to read, and I can imagine a group of young people getting quite enthralled with writing their own discover-what-happens-story drafting off the wise storyline of this one. Ward writes and illustrates a sweet text here in Please Bring Balloons, one worth seeking out. I look forward to reading her other book, When Blue Met Egg.
