Sometimes there are books that touch my heart so much, I can't help but review them. A Balloon for Isabel by Deborah Underwood is one of these books. Here are a few reasons why I love this book.1) It has a clever, witty plot and is an all around fun read.
2) The main character is an adorable little girl named, Isabel. She also happens to be a porcupine who wants a balloon, and for obvious reasons can't have one. Brilliant.
3) It's filled with vibrant, colorful illustrations.
4) Isabel's best friend is Walter. His Dad owns a candy shop. But what does Walter love? Broccoli, of course. What a wonderfully fun detail.
5) It's filled with ingenious ideas, like the pop-stopper, that will tickle the reader's delight.
