Production History

Cat Balloon

Adapted from the book by Paul (Palo) Morgan

There was one small cat, called Cat Balloon,
Who wanted to fly to the moon.
‘Oh no!’ the other cats gave a loud cry,
‘That’s a crazy idea. Cats can’t fly.’

Cat Balloon is the story of a tiny cat with a large imagination. In the Land of Dreams, Cat Balloon was not content to lie back and drink sweet honey tea, instead he dreamed of flying to the moon! Taking to the sea in a large silver spoon, this is the tale of his dreams coming true!

Cat Balloon will s-t-r-e-t-c-h your imagination and have you meowing in the aisles for more!
