Goes

All the animals are just comical. The cat is also quite cute. At the beginning, all the animals are making their normal animally sounds. The pigs are oinking, the cows moo.

But then he heard a rumbling sound That made his smile turn upside down. ...."Look out!" he cried. "A twister's coming!"

The following pages will bring giggles as all the animals get caught up in the clothes line and the expressions on the sheep's faces.....you just have to see it!

When the twister drops them all, the sheep are clucking and the cows are oinking. More silliness continues as the sheep take over the roost and the muddy, oinking cows get slopped.

The rooster takes over the farmer's job and tells everyone what to do. Fortunately another twister hits and sets things right again.

"Except on days when strong winds blew...."

A purely silly delight!

I'd recommend this book over most of the other Froggy books. Froggy's misbehavior is (thankfully) not a major topic here, and the book conveys a useful lesson about doctors. Recommended.

Alice, her sister and her mother must come to terms with losing a father and husband so private, that, in a sense, they never had him. It is a rare writer who can bring to life a character, such as this father -- stiff, unyielding, inhibited -- and evoke sympathy from the reader for both him and those who deserved but never received more from him.

This particular book, for me, allowed me to accept and move beyond. That's the kind of book it is; a book that, through reading it, helps one to deal with one's own loss -- even when you don't know you've lost anything.

This book is a must have for any young child!!!!
