It's a windy day! — Caroline Feller Bauer's newest collection of stories and poems - all about wind - includes a wonderful variety of poems by such respected poets as Karla Kuskin, Lilian Moore, Arnold Adoff, William Carlos... more » Williams, and many others. There's a funny story about a boy named Josh, a whiz at making wacky, crazy, scary faces - until one day, when he's making his scariest face yet, something extraordinary happens.

This wonderful medley of stories and poems is illustrated throughout with dramatic black-and-white drawings by Dirk Zimmer. So, get out your kite, hold on to your hat, and read about wind!« less
