When James paints a pirate face on his new balloon, ties it to a chair, and invites it to dinner, his parents say, “What a well-mannered balloon!” But that night, after James’s parents have gone to bed, the balloon comes alive and decides it wants to eat everything in the house--including James!

About the Author:
From Publishers Weekly:
Nancy Willard (born June 26, 1936) is a novelist, a poet, and a children's writer and occasional illustrator. Her 1981 collection of poems, A Visit to William Blake's Inn, won the Newbery Medal as that year's most distinguished contribution to American children's literature.
Willard was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she later received the B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and won five Hopwood Awards for creative writing. She also studied at Stanford University, where she received her M.A.
When James goes to bed, his blue balloon--previously a model of propriety--displays a horrific hunger, but the resourceful lad scores a witty triumph. Ages 4-8.
