Mirandy and Brother Wind (Caldecott Honor Books) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Illus. in full color.Mirandy is sure she'll win the cake walk if she can catch Brother Wind for her partner, but he eludes all the tricks her friends advise. This gets a high score for plot, pace, and characterization. Mirandy sparkles with energy and determination. Multi-hued watercolors fill the pages with patterned ferment. A treat to pass on to new generations.--(starred) Bulletin, Center for Children's Books. Cassette running time: 20 min.
