YOUNGER FICTION
Hughes, Shirley

Digby O'Day Up, Up, and Away

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Clara Vulliamy. In this third adventure, dogs Digby and Percy, along with their new friend, parrot Ariel, visit an air show and accidentally take off in a hot-air balloon. As ever, neighbor Lou Ella (who likes "getting her own way") makes an excellent villain. The drama is both exciting and appropriate for new readers. A jaunty page layout and profuse illustrations move the story along briskly.
