E. Dorinda Shelley’s “The Helium Table” proves to be out of this world

A table that floats, farm animals in space, and a round of laughter – these are what await readers of “The Helium Table” (PRGott Books Publishing; 2010), written by E. Dorinda Shelley and illustrated by Eleanor Hutton.
 
Anyone who has read the second book, “The Helium Egg,” may have wondered what preceded Little Black Hen’s soft blue egg which hatched into ghost babies, and they are right to wonder. Life at the barn gets exciting and hilarious when a dining room table floats out the front door after Kath and her mother remove all the books from the table. They don’t know that the table, unused for many years, is a helium table and the books are there to hold it down.
 
The barnyard animals jump onto the table to try to hold it down, but it still floats like a balloon into space. Will they ever see home again? Readers will find out when they read “The Helium Table,” available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble
 
“The Helium Table” was displayed along with the other books in the series, “The Helium Egg” and “Helium Heels,” at the 2018 Sharjah International Book Fair, held last October 31-November 10, 2018, at the Expo Centre Sharjah in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
