Book Reviews of Time of Wonder (Picture Puffins)
Book Review: a time of wonder
Summary: 5 Stars
Time of Wonder was read to me as a young girl, as was most of Robert McCloskey's other books, Burt Dow, Blueberries for Sal, Make Way for Ducklings. I treasure the memories of seeing those startling pictures as a child. The uprooted tree! The glacial scratch where the children went swinmming! The storm! Only through repetition and re-reading over several years did the stories come together and make sense, but the process was completely enjoyable and enthralling.
The best part of all was re-encountering the stories as an adult. For some reason I especially love "Time of Wonder", but all his books occupy a toasty and happy place in my heart.
Summary of Time of Wonder (Picture Puffins)
The spell of rain, gulls, a foggy morning, the excitement of sailing, the quiet of the night, the sudden terror of a hurricane, and the peace of a Maine island as a family packs up to leave are shown in poetic language and vibrant, evocative pictures.Reference & Nonfiction Books
