Flavours of Discovery

The Flavours of Discovery is Jonathan Ripples's hot-air balloon. He flies away in it in Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear to try snacks in foreign places, and then picks up Polly and Padlock when they are stranded on the sea. When the balloon crashes at the Kingdom of the Beasts, it is repaired by the Spirit of the Rainbow and Polly and Jonathan Ripples fly home in it, leaving Padlock where he belongs.
