I think my excited rubbed off on the kids because they both gave it 4 stars too and they were a little squirmy Time of Wonder times. This is one of my favorite Caldecott books I've read. I'm so glad I found it. Apr 21, Ronyell rated it really liked it Shelves: caldecott-medalrobert- mccloskeysummerbook-challengepicture-bookbedtime-storiesweston-woodsread-inchildren-s-bookmy-blog-reviews. When I first read this book as a child, I did not really care for this book since I thought that this book was too boring to sit through. However, when I read this book later on as an adult, I realized that this book was a truly moving book. The images that stood out the most in this book are the images of the ferns growing and the images of the hurricane coming towards the island. Smaller children might be bored with this book since the beginning is a tad Time of Wonder too slow and the action does not really come around until the scene of the hurricane coming to the island. Also, the length of this book is much longer than most picture books and many small children might become bored with this book. Parents might Time of Wonder to read one section of the book for the first day and then read the second section of the book the next day so that way children would not become so easily bored. I would recommend this book to children ages five and up Time of Wonder to the slow beginning. Review is also on: Rabbit Ears Book Blog View all 7 comments. Jan 22, Kathryn rated it it was amazing.

Even though the illustrations are excellent, and won the Caldecott Medal, it was the story itself that captivated me most--I just loved how it was told, and the words, more than the illustrations, are what Time of Wonder me to Time of Wonder Bay and, oh, how I'd love to visit in person one day! I wasn't sure at first how I felt about the story being in second person narration yet the characters were both girls -- it seemed to Time of Wonder it would be more inclusive if one was a boy and one a girl, to address all of the "you"s in the readership. Thank you to my GoodReads friends who explained to me that McCloskey had two daughters so the book was likely for them, and with them in mind. It feels even more special to me, now, thinking of it like Time of Wonder father telling a story to his daughters, reminiscing about past summers, or perhaps painting a picture of a summer vacation to come.
