Whoosh Went the Wind!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vincent Nguyen. When a boy arrives late for school, his teacher raises her eyebrow in disbelief as he describes his harrowing adventures getting there. Acrylic paintings add humorous details to his escapades battling the wild wind gusting outside. Clever design elements (e.g., the teacher's skeptical interruptions are set in red type: "Now, really..." "I find that hard to believe!") also add spark.
