The boy and the balloon traipse through Paris, until finally the balloon takes flight high, high above the rooftops. This abiding children's classic consists of still images (taken from the "Red Balloon" movie, shot in Paris) and no text. It's captivating visual storytelling, popularized in French-language classes throughout the world. Ah, Paris! Ah, mon ballon rouge!  (FRN326, $12.95)
