"It will . . . sweep readers away." --Kirkus Reviews "Henry's lush,
digital artwork depicts the splendors of eighteenth-century France
. . . a good addition to units on aviation and inventors."
--Booklist More than a century before the Wright Brothers invented
their plane, Josephand Etienne Montgolfier sent a flying machine
into the skies--a hot-air balloon with three animals in the basket.
Go up, up, and away with them on their first, magical journey! Back
in 1782, in Ardeche, France, lived Joseph Montgolfier, a dreamer
and an inventor who liked to learn about how everything worked.
When one day a gust of wind blew his papers into the fireplace, he
noticed that something lifted the pieces into the air--and he
realized that heat could make things rise. With the help of his
brother, Etienne, he began to experiment . . . and created a new
kind of flying machine: a hot-air balloon! This beautifully
illustrated picture book tells the story of how the balloon came to
be, King Louis XVI's visit to see it fly, and the three animals--a
rooster, a duck, and a sheep--who became its very first passengers.
