How the Ladies Stopped the Wind by Bruce McMillian - ADVISABLE

McMillian, Bruce; How the Ladies Stopped the Wind. PICTURE BOOK. Houghton Mifflin Co.

EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

In this silly story about wind, ladies, and chickens, we find out how to stop wind and sheep. The ladies want to plant trees to stop the wind, but all the sheep want to do is eat the trees. The chickens so a wonderful job of provide fertilizer. The illustrations are whimsical. While children may not pick this title off the shelf themselves, if read aloud to them, they will want to share the story with others.
