Overview / 简介:
Three friends, Dog, Cat, and Mouse, live happily—or so they think—in their beach hut by the sea until one night a mysterious Stranger, bearing gifts from the Winds of Change Trading Company, blows into their little world and turns it upside down. Soon Dog, Cat, and Mouse are fighting with each other. Is the foxy Stranger a troublemaker or does he mean well? And will Dog, Cat, and Mouse ever be happy again?

Children will find this thought-provoking picture book of true friendship from award-winning Mini Grey, author of Traction Man Is Here! and Traction Man Meets Turbodog, deeply satifying, a story they'll want to hear—and discuss—again and again.

From Organization / 国外机构评价:
Grey, one of the more inventive picture-book creators working these days (Traction Man Is Here! 2005; Egg Drop, 2009), offers a beguiling little parable in her latest offering. Dog, who handles the gardening chores, Cat, who cleans house, and Mouse, who oversees the kitchen, live a blissfully quiet existence in a little shack by the sea. But then a shady fox shows up, representing the Winds of Change Trading Company and questions whether their friendship is really living up to expectations. Dog is only burying bones in the garden, Cat�s napping instead of dusting, and Mouse�s menu is incessantly fondue-based. The roommates squabble, then make up after a little crisis and move on with their lives, more aware of each other and how their roles can blend together. The artwork is standard-issue outstanding for Grey, with creative dollops of collage, endearing animal characters, and detail-strewn settings. With a complex resolution that refreshingly eschews any simple message, this book offers a nice opening to discuss how change may be both unwanted and stressful, yet ultimately welcome. Grades K-2. --Ian Chipman

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价:
I just read this book to my four and six-year-old girls. We all loved it. It is a touching story of 3 unlikely friends. When their relationship is challenged (by the fox and his "winds of change"), things get a little rocky. After a near tragedy, they find a way to come together and compromise. As readers, we are reminded how no relationship stays the same (even if we want it to)." Afterward, we discussed how the fox (and his "winds of change") may or may not be real. It's open to interpretation, as the previous reviewer noted. We also discussed how sometimes a "family" can be defined as any people that care for one another and decide to stick together through thick and thin like the characters in this charming book.
