Product Description

▼▲

The night of the hurricane is one that David and George will never forget. Even though they were safe inside with their mom and dad and Hannibal the cat, the raging winds outside could put fear into the most fearless. The next day, though, was even more memorable. A fallen tree became the threshold of limitless voyages of the imagination - voyages the two brothers shared as only close friends can.

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

"Wiesner captures perfectly the aura of a giant storm from a child's perspective. A family weathers a hurricane; the next day, in the post-hurricane yard, the two boys in the family play on a great fallen elm, imagining it to be a jungle, a pirate ship, and a space ship. A handsome book, affording opportunities for sharing fears and dreams of adventure." -- Copyright © 1991 The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
