Overview / 简介: |
One day, a westerly wind blows Mr. and Mrs. Whirly away, leaving their three children--including baby Rose--to take their turns at running the house. By the author of Lily and the Bears. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
When the wind blows their parents away, the Whirly children check the phone book's emergency pages for help, but to no avail. So they settle in to wait, while the ``muddle'' in the house becomes a ``mess'' and then a ``maze where nothing could be found.'' Finally, since no one else is looking after them, they decide to do it themselves. On Jack's two days, they go to school; on Flora's, they stay home and play pirates; the baby's cozy agenda includes stories and early bed. On the seventh day, they tidy up--to their parents' delight when they finally blow in again. Ross brings just the right touch to this fanciful blend of license and responsibility, both in her brisk, tongue-in-cheek narrative and in softly cross-hatched, amusingly detailed illustrations of the wide-eyed kids enjoying and coping with their independence. (Picture book. 4-8) -- |
