Jake and the Hot Air Balloon Maurice Huffman

This is the story of an orphan named Jake who finds himself in a hot-air balloon with his friend, Milton the Mouse. The wind carries them through many adventures, some very amusing and others quite dangerous. The adventures of Jake and Milton originated as bedtime stories, which the author told his son. This book combines the adventures and were finally written down as advised by his son Miles. The illustrations were all done by the author's son, Miles Huffman. The author hopes the stories will be passed on to Miles's children one day.
