Age 4-8
I was not really expecting this book. I thought that Hyacinth was going to float in water. But she just floats all the time.
Princess Hyacinth has a problem: she floats. And so the king and queen have pebbles sewn into the tops of her socks, and force her to wear a crown encrusted with the heaviest jewels in the kingdom to keep her earthbound. But one day, Hyacinth comes across a balloon man and decides to take off all her princess clothes (except her royal underwear), grab a balloon, and float free. Hooray! Alas, when the balloon man lets go of the string . . . off she goes. Luckily, there is a kite and a boy named Boy to save her.
The illistrations are great.
There are rather alot of words on the page. But it is a very entertaining book.
