Lions, monkeys, and a balloon on the run across the African savanna
Tony and Beowulfe are hiding in the tall golden grass of Kenya when they spot their runaway blue balloon-tangled in the thorny branches of an acacia tree But between them and the balloon stands a parade of elephants and one very big, very sleepy lion.
When a cheeky Vervet monkey snatches the balloon and swings away through the treetops, the chase is ON Tony and Beowulfe sprint alongside galloping zebras, ask a towering giraffe for directions, and watch in horror as a snapping crocodile nearly chomps the balloon string. Will they ever catch it?
Full of animal encounters, dusty savanna action, and a spectacular African sunset, Safari Surprise is an unforgettable leg of The Big Balloon Chase that will have young readers roaring, stomping, and laughing along.
