Mirandy and Brother Wind
What's This Book About
Illus. in full color.”Mirandy is sure she’ll win the cake walk if she can catch Brother Wind for her partner, but he eludes all the tricks her friends advise. This gets a high score for plot, pace, and characterization. Mirandy sparkles with energy and determination. Multi-hued watercolors fill the pages with patterned ferment. A treat to pass on to new generations.”–(starred) Bulletin, Center for Children’s Books. Cassette running time: 20 min.
