As it says on the dust jacket: "For anyone who has ever imagined what it would be like to ride a carousel animal right off its platform, this enchanting story is your chance - happy travels!" I just wish this book was not out of print because it is a sheer delight.
A little girl finds a note under the saddle of the polar bear on the carousel. She takes a red balloon and ties a red balloon. "I hope you like red,' she whispered." The next day the note says please bring more balloons. She ties these to the polar bear and they are up and away. They drift through starry skies and arrive in the land of ice and snow. The discover the polar bear rumpus and a wild night ensues. After a terrific night they travel safely home. The next day, though, there is another note under the saddle on the polar bear - clearly more adventures await.
There’s pull out pages and such a fun combination of colors and patterns that it’s very difficult for the reader not to enjoy themselves. Absolutely stunning and truly unique, this was a phenomenal read. Home Grown Reader
