The boundless power of a child’s imagination inspires this beautiful picture book. A boy and his mother are getting ready to go to the carnival, each dressed in their special carnival outfits. As they hunt for Charlie’s red balloon, he lets his imagination run free, conjuring up wonderful images – a town where elephants take the place of cars, a place where everyone lives in tree houses.
When they get to the carnival, it’s everything Charlie dreamed of, and more. Generously sized pages show off the artwork to stunning effect, gatefolds allowing the story to spill out even further, a riot of colour, composition and narrative. The illustrations are very special indeed and this is a book to treasure. ~ Andrea Reece

While she's searching, Charlie imagines all the wonderful things they might see: lemonade rivers and lollipop trees, elephant taxis and a cake as big as a town square. When they finally arrive at the carnival, it's even more amazing and magical than Charlie had hoped.
