From the first time that I saw the cover of You Can't Take a Balloon Into the Museum of Fine Arts by Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman and Robin Preis Glasser I wanted to find out what adventure this balloon would go on. But not only did I get adventure I also found out a lot of historical facts about the city that the story is based in, Boston.
While two grandparents take their two grandchild to a museum they realize that the little girls balloon is not allowed inside. Because they have been waiting forever to go the grandma offers to sit outside with the balloon. While fumbling with her map she accidently looses the balloon and then has to go running after it. Along the way you see all of the art that the grandpa and the two grandchildren are looking at getting depicted in what the grandma is going through. Also, if you look close you see many famous Bostonians throughout the whole book.
This book is great for Kindergarten children and above because it has amazing pictures with a lot of detail. You can either check out all of the cool stuff in the back or just focus on the main part of the story which is in color. And if you flip to the back of the book you can find all of the paintings and famous people that are shown throughout the book and what pages they are on.
