Illus. in full color. Bored with his suburban life, a boy takes all the
things he dislikes--his toothbrush, his mean old cat, even his math
teacher--and sends them sailing away with helium balloons. But the fun really
begins when he rigs up a lawn chair with enough balloons to launch himself,
too. Good times are in store for those who thoroughly eyeball the pages; the
simple idea takes flight in a technicolor kaleidoscope.-- Kirkus.
