Flora's Very Windy Day by Jeanne Birdsall

Birdsall, Jeanne, Flora’s Very Windy Day. Clarion Books, 2010. PICTURE BOOK.


Flora’s brother, Crispin spills her paints and her mom tells them to go outside. The day, however, is very windy and the two get picked up by the wind and taken for a ride. The wind isn’t putting them down and everyone wants her little brother for themselves. Will Flora give in and let them have him?

The illustrations in this book are great and complement well the text. The text is simple, but does a great job of telling the story. This book would make a great read aloud at the start of fall. Pre-K/EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, HUN Public Library
