Go up, up, and away with them on their first, magical journey!Back in 1782, in Ardche, France, lived Joseph Montgolfier, a dreamer and an inventor who liked to learn about how everything worked. When one day a gust of wind blew his papers into the fireplace, he noticed that something lifted the pieces into the air-and he realized that heat could make things rise. With the help of his brother, tienne, he began to experiment . . . and created a new kind of flying machine: a hot-air balloon! This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of how the balloon came to be, King Louis XVIs visit to see it fly, and the three animals-a rooster, a duck, and a sheep-who became its very first passengers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52109818069280,"sku":"NEW1454923601","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71qgN00vSvL._SL1200_QL70.jpg?v=1785991241","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/up-and-away-how-two-brothers-invented-the-hot-air-balloon-1454923601","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
