Description of the story
"Why did the storks no longer come to the little Dutch fishing village of Shora to nest? It was Lina, one of the six schoolchildren, who first asked the question, and she set the others to wondering. And sometimes when you begin to wonder, you begin to make things happen. So the children set out to bring the storks back. They had to overcome many obstacles, including the fierce and threatening sea. But they wouldn't give up - and soon their determination and their vision got the whole village working, until at last the dream began to come true. - Book Depository"

Welcome to Tuesdays Treasures. I started these posts as a way of sharing great books in honour of my friend in New Zealand who would arrive with the treasures she had unearthed at her weekly trip to the library!
There are so many wonderful books out there hiding on shelves so I invite you to blog about a book on your shelf, one you're reading or one you found at the library. Grab the button for your post and add a link to your post below. I would love to read about your treasures.
Three generations of my family have read and loved The Wheel on the School. It's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteThree generations ! Wow that's amazing. I agree this one is a keeper all the way around. I'm looking forward to reading it again.
DeleteMy daughter doesn't remember us ever reading this book. I'm adding it to our library list.
ReplyDeletesounds like an interesting book. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a interesting book. It's so hard sometimes to get through them when they are slow moving, but sometimes getting through them is the best reward. I love books that have lessons to teach.
