Margulies, Paul Three Magic Balloons Random
House, 2016 $17.99. PICTURE BOOK
This book features three kindhearted little girls. After a trip
to the zoo, they are rewarded for their kind deeds with magical balloons. After
they tie the balloons to their bed that night, they are awaken into a magical
journal.
This book just didn’t come together for me. Its nice that the
girls fed zoo animals rather than buying themselves gifts, but that moral doesn’t
tie into the story very smoothly. Overall I thought the story was quiet odd and
felt like one of those crazy dreams you have when you eat too much sugar. As a
family story, the adult children who made this book in honor of their fathers story obviously have a personal connection
to the story, but I wouldn’t add this to my library.
