Bookroo's summary
Owl clutches a coveted red balloon, but Monkey's determined to make it his own. Despite offering a teddy bear, a robot, and even a picture of ten balloons, Owl remains unmoved. But when Monkey presents a simple sock, Owl's interest is piqued. Can this unexpected offer lead to a surprising trade? Discover the whimsical negotiation between two unlikely friends and see if Monkey's wish for the shiny red balloon comes true.
From the publisher
Owl has a balloon. Monkey does not. What will happen next? Hint: this is not a book about sharing.
Owl has a red balloon. Monkey does not. “That red balloon matches my shiny red tie,” says Monkey. “I’d look fancy walking to school with a shiny red balloon. The only thing I’ve ever wanted, since right now, is a shiny, big red balloon. It would make me SO HAPPY!” But Owl does not want to give it to him. So Monkey tries to find something that Owl wants: a teddy bear, a robot, a picture of TEN balloons. Owl does not want any of these things. But then, Monkey offers him…a sock!
Hmmmmm…Owl is intrigued. Will he trade his shiny red balloon with Monkey?
