What is Big Red Balloon about?
Pip’s class is celebrating the school’s 100th anniversary by sending big red balloons into the sky. Each balloon carries a message asking anyone who finds it to write back and say how far it has travelled. Some balloons are discovered nearby, while others journey much farther. Pip’s balloon makes an astonishing trip all the way to Buckingham Palace. As messages begin to arrive, Pip wonders what exciting surprise might happen next.
