I found this book to be surprisingly enjoyable. The different portrayals of the wind throughout the changing seasons was wonderful. Books about wind tend to focus so much on the cold versions, that it's nice to find one that recognizes the fact that wind in summer is not the same as wind in winter. And since it's summer now and I was doing a unit on wind, this was a great addition. Plus, it talks about how the wind sometimes stalls out and doesn't blow at all, which is exactly what was happening on the day of my program. 107 degrees Fahrenheit and no wind. It was a bad day, but this was a great book!

Had a nice little discussion about whether the wind does walk and had the children show off how they walk before reading the book.
