(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nathan Hale. After his little brother's red balloon floats all the way up to the moon, six-year-old Jake boldly requests a seat on the next NASA lunar craft in order to recover it. The acrylics and Photoshop illustrations, which show Jake's flight, moonwalk, and triumphant return, have a realistic look that reinforces the straightforward narration of this amusingly preposterous tale.
