Comes a Wind

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Curry. As a birthday gift, Mama asks her childish adult sons, cowboys Clement and Clyde, not to squabble. A mellow breeze inspires their verbal "besting" ("Why, one day it was so windy . . ."), which intensifies with the wind. Only when a gust makes Mama airborne do the men learn cooperation. Illustrations depicting the ranch in turmoil are as lively and hilarious as the brothers' hyperbole.
