Charlie has a big, bright hot air balloon. Milly and Molly watch as he goes over the mountain in it.
The friends are thrilled when, one day, Charlie agrees to take them and their cats for a ride. It feels magical at first but the feeling fades away, rather quickly, when they get caught in a thunderstorm. Soon, they’re eager to get back on the ground.
I liked this book for the simple but profound messages the author conveys - the world looks neat and tidy from up above and the grass is not greener on the other side of the mountain. :-)

Excerpt
The river looked long and blue and curly.
The trees were in straight rows.
The grass was so green.
And everything looked very neat and tidy.
