APPEALS TO: MANY 

Penelope elephant has ten red balloons she doesn't go anywhere without. She guards them so well that she even keeps her distance from her friends who are sharp and spiky. When a storm comes along, Penelope and her balloons are threatened. 

The artwork is beautiful. Kids will be able to relate to losing something they love or are trying to protect. Nice theme about friendship. A little simplistic though.
