It's Too Windy! (Hello Reader!, Level 1)
Gr. 1. A shaggy white dog tells of going out, unwillingly, on a very windy day, accompanying Baby and her mother. When Mother stops to chat, Baby's stroller rolls away, with the dog's leash attached. Unable to stop Baby by pulling back, the dog manages to wrap his leash around a lamp post and halt the runaway. His owner rewards him with a hug and a big bone. With just a few words on each page, the tale unfolds quickly. Wilhelm's cartoon-like ink drawings, brightened with watercolor washes, tell the tale with great verve and humor. In fact, preschoolers could follow the story just by looking at the picutres. New readers, however, will enjoy the satisfaction of reading the simple text.Carolyn PhelanCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
