Customer Reviews

One of the most fun books we own!

My children love this book! It was given to us as a Christmas gift a few years ago and we still read it on a weekly basis. We love to do the voices and laugh at the wonderful illustrations. They find new aspects of the story all of the time and relate to both feeling a little competitive with each other, but loving their family enough to work together. All in all a fun story with a good message.

What a darling book!

I had a 3rd grade girl read this to me yesterday, and today I ordered 3 of them! What great illustrations accompany the creative story. As a transplant to Texas, I can truly appreciate all the descriptions from "15 gallon hats" to the big windy stories! I look forward to reading this to my children and sending the extra copies to relatives "back home" on the coast.

Comes A Wind

Comes a Wind is a story of two brothers who always over-exaggerate. Clement and Clyde try to outdo each other telling tales about winds that they have conquered. Their mother just wants them to get along for her birthday, a very hard task for Clement and Clyde because they fought so much when they were young. Clement and Clyde put their differences aside to help their mama when a Texas tornado hits and throws their mama on top of her barn. This book was a 2002 Bluebonnet nominee. Linda Arms White also wrote Log Spirit and Too Many Pumpkins.

DK Ink Blows You Away With Another Fantastical Tale!!

The DK INK logo on the cover blowing away along with the title characters, and all else doesn't prepare you for the tall tales of the windiest kind told by two brothers always trying to best eachother! This book is another perfect read aloud from Editor Melanie Kroupa! She develops every part of a picture book (from the blowing logo to the interesting author's & illustrator's bio on the flap - it all works perfectly!!) Buy this one before they all blow off the shelves!!!!!!!

Tall Tale Fun

These Texas-style tall tales about Texas-style wind are sure to make readers laugh--Although here in Texas we know these tales aren't so far from the truth! Everyone who has a sister or brother will recognize themselves in Clement and Clyde's constant competition.The illustrations are wonderful--as funny as the text. (Take a close look at the cover--the title, author's and illustrator's names, even the publisher's logo, all are blowing away.)
