Sebastian and the Balloon
Philip C. Stead
Sebastian sat high on his roof–something he was never supposed to do.
“There is nothing to see on my street,” he thought. “Nothing to see at all.”
“Tonight I’ll leave and see something new for a change.”
And so he does, in a hot air balloon made entirely of Grandma’s afghans and patchwork quilts. Along the way, he meets a bear, a very tall bird, and three unusual ladies, who all join him on what may be the adventure of a lifetime.
