This book is ideal for young early readers and pre-school children's bedtime story shelves, with its familiar and easy to follow story of Ruby's birthday party and how James her friend helps her appreciate the temporary nature of balloons and how to enjoy them while you have them. The clear, brightly coloured illustrations are also sure to engage the reader's interest and help to explain the events for non-readers too.
Author Nicola J Rowley also sensitively and calmly explains that sometimes accidents do happen and that parents, friends and medical professionals are in place to comfort, reassure and when necessary treat injuries that sadly can occur even when a child is being properly looked after in a normally-safe environment.
The characters are well-rounded and posited in a way that caters to young children, letting them enjoy the theme of the party and having fun with friends and family which is a pleasant idea for the reader (or read-to) to focus on. Yet the sub-theme of being hurt and helped to recover quickly is a gentle reminder that life is not lived in a bubble, thus opening an avenue for discussion and reassurance on a rare but possible life-event.
