Up And Away!: How Two Brothers Invented The Hot-Air Balloon

Centuries before the Wright Brothers, Joseph and Étienne Montgolfier sent a flying machine into the skies--a hot-air balloon. This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of how Joseph and Étienne invented the balloon, King Louis XVI's visit to see it fly, and the three animals--a rooster, a duck, and a sheep--who became its very first passengers. Go up, up, and away with them on their magical journey!
