The Hot Air Balloon Ride

By Karen Klami

An unforgettable adventure begins when Auguste goes on a journey from his small, family farm on the outskirts of Paris, France, to the Palace Courtyard in Versailles, to see the great spectacle of 1783: the first manned flight of a brand new invention called the passenger-carrying hot air balloon! He is followed by his barnyard friends, a confident, colorful, rooster, Cocorico, a shy, wooly, sheep, D?d?, and an intelligent duck, CoinCoin, who are swept into an unexpected adventure of their own, involving the hot air balloon and Her Majesty, the Queen of France, Marie-Antoinette.
