I like the Hsu Flanders books --easy and they come with a pretty servicable
palm pump and a few balloons.  The other one I liked (which I bought for my
nephew) is a little kit that they had at Ross with a video and pump and
balloons--forget who did it but they also have a magic kit and it was only
9 bucks.  Heartsong (the kids store and mail order) also carries kids kits
with a modified Marvin Hardy book from qualatex..

As for the suggestion someone made about going to the library forget it.  I
live in San Francisco and until about two months ago ( and only because I
complained to the head of the childrens librarians) they had no books for
kids on balloons.  In fact the only balloon book in the entire system (and
heavens knows how many branches we have here!) was a Balloon Magic book
which was locked behind the reference desk at the main library.  If you
can't find the same things you can find at Borders or Barnes in the kids
section at the library in SAN FRANCISCO what on earth is middle America
doing?

Have the kid log on to the Balloon Headquarters!
