Ed Young: The Weather's Bet, Gebunden

Klappentext

*"Awe-inspiring artwork as powerful as any force of nature."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From Caldecott Medalist Ed Young comes a picture book retelling of Aesop's fable The Wind and the Sun . Once upon the sky, there were three powers--the Wind, the Rain, and the Sun--each claiming to be the mightier than the others. One day, the powers came upon a shepherd girl fast asleep upon a hill, so they made a bet to see who could make her take her cap off. Who will be the strongest of them all? Rendered in exquisite mixed-media collage, Caldecott Medalist Ed Young's gorgeous and deeply poignant retelling of the well-known Aesop's fableThe Wind and the Sun , proves that sometimes gentle persuasion and kindness are the best virtues of all. Praise for The Weather's Bet : "Lyrical and profound." --School Library Journal "A good classroom readaloud."--Publishers Weekly
