Three Magic Balloons: As Told to Julianna Margulies and her Sisters, Rachel Mara Smit and Alexandra Margulies

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Grant Shaffer. Upon hearing that three young sisters have used their money to feed some animals, a balloon man rewards them with one magic balloon apiece. The ensuing magic is generic (their beds carry the sisters to the sky, where they meet angels and animals), and there's no conflict to shape the goings-on. The art, though, featuring windswept celestial scenes, is lovely.
