Gilberto and the Wind (Picture Puffins)

Beautiful book in perfect condition. Love it!!

I bought this to read to my PreK class when we were learning about wind and other "mysterious" movers. It's written from the POV of a little boy who talks about the wind as a living thing. The art is very well done and I think the personification of the wind helped make the story more interesting.

Love this book! Have used it every year for years.

This is a wonderfully ageless book that appeals to multiple generations of children—and their parents and grandparents. The artwork is especially appealing.

Now I can share it with my class!

.... BEAUTIFUL STORIES TO READ WITH YOUR CHILD.VERY GOOD QUALITY.SUPER FAST SHIPPING

Gilberto is a real surprise. The graphics are interesting but the limited palate made it look a little dreary. Therefore, the first time I tried to read this to a child I was unenthused. However, the story really grabs all the children I've ever read this to and quite beautiful. My baby brother (now 39) remembers this as his all time fav. NOTE: For some reason the background in the paperback version is far too dark and that is disappointing so 4 stars out of 5 which I'd give for the original hard cover version we owned.

Great book
