William's Getaway by Annika Dunklee, illustrated by Yong Ling Kang PICTURE BOOK Owl Kids Books 2020 $19 9781771473378

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

KID APPEAL: AVERAGE

When William's little brother is driving him crazy, William can get away - in his hot air balloon! But when Edgar is finally brave enough to want to come, too, William convinces him that he doesn't need all his "stuff" no toy monkey, no snacks, not even his yo-yo. All Edgar needs is William - William is brave, and responsible and he loves his little brother. 

Yong Ling Kang's illustrations are precious - Edgar is so cute! I loved the sweet relationship between the brothers, and even when William needed some time alone, he wasn't mean about it. Oh, and what a surprise that there really might be a hot air balloon - or maybe just a brother who can make it seem so.
