Rating: Summary: Wonderful and Fun Read for All Review: This book is a wonderful and fun read for all. My four year old has it memorized already and we've only had it a week. The text and animations are fun, colorful and leads your imagination on a wonderful journey with Cat Ballon. The CD for this book is wonderful as well with songs written for the stage adaptation.
