You Can't Take a Balloon...

Marcus and Lella really enjoy looking at this series of books (there are three) about art mimicking real life.

A little girl brings her balloon to a museum, but is not allowed to bring it inside.  In each book, someone who works at the museum offers to watch her balloon.  The balloon, by various means depending on which book you're looking at, becomes free.  The museum worker chases the balloon through the city and each scene is similar to a piece of art the little girl is looking at.  We make up our own words for each page!  Very fun!  

The books are written by sisters Jacqueline Weitzman and Robin Glasser.


Enjoy!
