Review
The wind powers many things from kites to the blades of turbines that power trains to supplying entire cities with electricity. This book is written with great care and accuracy with pleasing watercolor paintings that range from simple and elegant to intricate. The rhythmic, rhyming text will truly appeal to children and be an enjoyable read-a-loud to a class.
From beautiful
When the wind blows Balloons escape Beach balls roll Clouds change shape
To sensible
When the wind blows Factories hum Harbors light up Smart cars run
Overall Book Score: very good
