Bartholomew Biddle and the Very Big Wind

92 pp. | Candlewick | November, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-4920-3 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Matthew Myers. On a powerfully windy night, Bartholomew decides to fly away on an adventure using a bed sheet as his sail. Bart meets pirates, avoids a stiflingly boring school, and must figure out a way to return home from a windless canyon. Rich oil paintings offer compelling exploratory escape for young dreamers; however, the lengthy verse, all rhyming couplets, quickly becomes wearing.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
