Cute book for very beginner readers. 3 words per sentence on each page.
I checked this book out just for the illustrations (the words are easy as it's an "I like to read" book to help kids read). They were pretty neat. I think the book could have been wordless and it would have been even better.
A very simple, fantastical easy reader. Berry enjoyed the farm animals. :)
F&P Level C. Short, simple story about a boy who flies away on a pinwheel and sees different farm animals. Could be a good small group book. Maybe connect to weather unit in science.
Who would think that twelve simple words could create such a wonderful story? UP captures your imagination through the the gorgeous illustrations and simple text as a young boy is taken to the sky by a magic pinwheel. It is such a delightful and wondrous adventure in the sky, that is sure to entertain children and kids alike.
A windy day and a pinwheel make for a magical adventure. When a pinwheel blows in the window, a young boy tests it out in front of a strong gust only to find himself soaring through the sky and meeting farm animals who have been temporarily suspended in the air. The wind dies down a little bringing the boy back home so he can hand the pinwheel off to his brother for more fun to be had. Text is great for beginning readers as the sentences are short and stick to a repetitive structure. New vocabul...
This is a great book to have in a kindergarten class, but not so much for reading to the class. The art is much more engaging than basic readers, yet the text is at the level of a Biscuit book.
Super simple, early Kindergarten (after preschool) level book. Lovely illustrations, fantastic (as in fantasy) story. Room for simple questions/discussion.
A young boy and his big brother are awakened by a brisk breeze as it entered their room. The youngest held up his pinwheel and watched it spin faster and faster. He was then whisked away up, up into the sky. He saw various animals from the farm join him up in the sky too. It wasn’t long before the breeze took him home. He handed the pinwheel to his older brother. What do you think would happen next?Author Joe Cepeda has created a delightful story that allows the readers imagination to soar. Colo...
I found this one kind of weird. The text is simple (B level), which is great but it's a little confusing about what exactly is happening. Like, why is he, and all the farm animals, being blown around by the wind. And why are their farm animals? I thought maybe the end would pay off by showing a farm but nope, he just goes home. I do still love the illustrations though.
Very easy readers with very simple text are so much more entertaining to read when the illustrations are this good. Another hit from Holiday House.
It only takes a pinwheel and some mighty wind to bring excitement into the life of two brothers. After the first one holds onto a pinwheel that flies into their bedroom and goes on an adventure through the sky where he observes other animals, inlcuding a chicken, a sheep, a cow, and a pig flying through the air as well, he returns home and passes the pinwheel on to his brother so he can have his own flying adventure. The digital illustrations will have young readers that they can, indeed, fly. I...
On the back of the book it says, "Joe Cepeda likes to read and make good books." And that's exactly what this is, a good book, a solid easy reader, with a fun concept, and imaginative illustrations.It's not too long or too hard or too anything. It is a GOOD book. Thank you, Joe Cepeda.
Simple and entertaining, with great illustrations.
It's a wild and windy and wonderful day. A young boy takes a pinwheel and soon is flying over the meadows, where he encounters various farm animals up in the air as well. When they go home so does he, where his brother eagerly awaits a chance at the pinwheel. This is an imaginative flight of fancy. with a very limited and repetitive text--perfect for beginning readers.
Young boy goes on a fantastical adventure.
