You Can't Take a Balloon into the Museum of Fine Arts

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser. The "plot" is the same as that in the author and artist's previous books: a girl's balloon sets off pandemonium when it escapes and leads the reader on a wordless tour of a featured city, in this case, Boston. Meanwhile, the child views elements of the collection, which replicate the goings-on outside. For those who haven't seen the first two books, this will seem original; others may find it repetitious.
