內容簡介

黃色氣球緩緩向天空飄去，輕輕的，它越過人、動物、各種建築物，愈飛愈高，底下的世界像玩具一樣小，更像各種幾何形狀湊出來的拼圖。接著，黃色氣球繼續飛，穿越好幾個世紀，回到過去，古代、中世紀到現代。讀者可以仔細尋找藍色小車、乘坐飛毯的騙子、監獄的惡棍等。
作者用輕柔的水彩和不同的角度，透過氣球看全球各地人們的生活，紀錄白天與夜晚的各種樣貌，甚或穿越到古代，繼往開來。

A delightful ride for armchair travellers. Writer and illustrator Charlotte Dematons infuses this picture book with an enchanting appeal. Lovely watercolours present a great and diverse planet, teeming with life at all times of day and night. People and animals of every shape, colour, size and costume are portrayed, busy at work and play. As the yellow balloon floats through several historical periods - ancient, medieval, and contemporary - and through both natural and supernatural realms, young readers can look out for the small blue car, the fakir on his flying carpet, and the scoundrel in prison garb. This fascinating story takes young readers on a lively and fun-filled journey around the globe.
