Clemson University Student Book Review

Benjamin's Balloon by Alan Baker is a children's book about a hamster who blows up a balloon which carries him away. He flies into snow and finds himself far away from home. After failing to fly home in an airplane he makes out of snow, he decides to make something else. The large, detailed illustrations put the reader close enough to the action to be a part of Benjamin's adventure. With the illustrations, the reader not only becomes best friends with a hamster with glasses, but also does everything from flying away with the balloon to landing in the snow as a wet hairball. This is a fun and humorous book for all ages.
