The First Flight / The Balloon Adventure

The First Flight is a historical report about two brothers who decide to make a flying machine. They invent a hot air balloon, that first takes animals, and then people, on some history-making flights.

The Balloon Adventure is a narrative about three animals that are put in the basket of a hot air balloon as part of an experiment to see if living things can fly. The animals become reluctant heroes when they are the first living things to successfully fly in a machine.
