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,  tienne, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Union Square Kids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781454923602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2018 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jason Henry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935580655797,"sku":"9781454923602","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_012bb14e-a7f1-4dc1-84f5-0d5a5dcf1997.jpg?v=1688489886","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/up-and-away-how-two-brothers-invented-the-hot-air-balloon-9781454923602","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
