Brief Summary/Book Usage: The narrator (most likely a child) of this story questions where balloons go after they are accidentally let go into the sky. They wonder if they get stuck into trees, if they just float forever, or if they pop soon after being let go. Different scenarios for where the balloons could have went are explained and illustrated throughout the story. I would use this book in my future classroom during story time to read aloud to the whole class and ask for their input on where they think balloons may go after they are let go into the sky.
