Summary: The Silver balloon
Comment: I like this book! First, a boy named Gregory sent a balloon up in the air and it landed in Mr. Mayfield's wheat farm. They both play a guessing game and send mystery gifts to each other. I think the neatest gift that Mr. Mayfield sent was a canine tooth from a Saber Tooth Tiger. My most favorite thing that Gregory sent was a wasp nest. It was cool! Gregory goes to the library alot in the story to figure out the mystery gifts. He got a book there about knots, tents, and other camping stuff too. I think he has alot of fun at the library. he finds interesting stuff that he never knew before. I like it when Gregory sends the balloon. I keep wondering what Mr. Mayfield was thinking when he found the balloon!

Summary: The Silver Balloon
Comment: This is a really great book about a boy named Gregory and a wheat farmer named Pete Mayfield. Gregory lives in the city with newspapers flying around the sidewalks, buses with bus tokens, and streets with manhole covers. Mr. Mayfield lives in the woods with rivers where he goes fishing and camping.
One day Gregory decided to write his name and address on a silver balloon. The balloon floated away to another place where Mr. Mayfield found it. Mr. Mayfield sent a letter back to Gregory along with a piece of wheat. Gregory has to figure out what it is. After that, they start sending mystery gifts to each other. My favorite mystery gift is the Saber Tooth tiger's canine tooth. I loved guessing what the gifts were. I learned so many things in this book like you can find arrowheads and tiger's teeth in the middle of wheat fields. That shows that ancient animals and Plains Indians once lived there!

Summary: Bonners' Balloon Flies High
Comment: The Silver Balloon is a quick read, but what a great read. I never expected the pen pals to become detectives along the way. Ms. Bonners has a strong sense of what kids are like and it is so nice to see a book that young boys will enjoy. We need more like this one!
