Harvey Potter was a very strange fellow indeed. He was a farmer, but he didn't farm like my daddy did. He farmed a genuine, U.S. Government Inspected Balloon Farm.

  So begins this enchanting origi-nal tall tale. Set in the rural south and populated with a truly unforgettable cast of charac- ters—including, if you look very carefully, a rabbit, a Tyran- nosaurus rex, a cat, a chicken, a cow, and a pig hidden in each remarkable

illustration — this is a book that is filled with wonderful impossibilities and magical imagination. Told in the great tradition of summer nights and front porch yarns, Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm will lift your spirit right off the ground, just as it does Harvey Potter.
