      When Mr. Fox's balloon is delivered, our vulpine hero hops in and away he goes in this beautifully-illustrated progression tale. As one after another of his animal friends asks to go along for the ride, each bringing something, from food to music with them, it turns into an aerial party. But when bird lands on the balloon basket, it's one party-goer too many, sending everything falling earthward. Fortunately, fox is more concerned about partying with his friends, than reaching the moon...English-born illustrator Migy - real name: Miguel Ornia-Blanco - makes his debut as a picture-book author with And Away We Go!, which has an appealing and familiar story structure, in which a progression of things or people is added (sometimes to a bed, to a balloon here) until no more can fit. Although somewhat predictable, the story is engaging, and is ably complemented by the gorgeous vintage-feeling artwork. I loved the darker background colors here, and the vivid palette overall. Migy's illustrations here have a cute, retro style that is very appealing. Recommended to anyone looking for fun, beautifully-illustrated picture-book romps.

      A predictable ending but getting there is fun. Great retro illustrations.
