PRODUCT SUMMARY

For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- In Ballooning, some inhabitants of Mammoth Island decide to explore the far side of a distant mountain ridge on a breezy spring day.

Their plan involves using the balloon to float back up the mountain, where they harness the mammoth and carry him safely back to the village. Part of the multivolume series The Way Things Work, based on the best-selling book by David Macaulay. Includes a Teacher's Guide.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"The series is humorous, informative and very educational. Explanations are clear and relevant, with neccesary diagrams to explain exactly how things work...These are exceptional physics videos that merit a place in all educational collections."- School Library Journal (August 2003)
