This luxury board book by Charlotte Dematons has no text and a story seems to be missing. But the good viewer soon discovers that the different images of the city, the desert, the jungle and the sea have something to do with each other. Time and again a blue car appears, a fakir on a flying carpet, a criminal in prison uniform and a yellow balloon. Young and old will enjoy looking for these recurring elements and reconstructing the story themselves.

In The Yellow Balloon, Charlotte Dematons not only shows herself to be a master at creating atmosphere - she has also incorporated countless little jokes in this book. Niels Holgersson, the Baron von Münchhausen, Pippi Longstocking, Tutankhamun, Santa Claus, Rumpelstiltskin and many other well-known figures from (children's) literature walk cheerfully across the pages and make this picture book a feast of recognition. For endless viewing!
