Maybe for kids who like cats. My little girl was not very interested in this story. The illustrations of the scenery were beautiful

Not bad, but just didn't do anything for me. Some children will love it. I tried two Henry books and have only this much to say about both.

Henry wants to ride in the hot-air balloon, but the mean man won't let him get close. So Henry tries to stowaway but winds up soloing in the balloon, higher and higher. Fun story, great illustrations, and a good companion to this author's other works.
