review 1: This is a great story about the old lady in the shoe and her kids and what happens when a particularly strong wind starts blowing and they decide it's their job to make sure everything that gets blown about needs to be returned to its rightful place and owner. From broken boughs and flying babies to mittens for kittens in the tree, the important lesson is that family is the most important thing to have.
review 2: I loved how this combined a few well known nursery rhymes into one book. And who would have thought that the wind would have made all of their paths cross in such a way!! My daughter recognized all of the different stories in it and thought it was fun that they were all mentioned in one book.The wind is mighty strong one day and starts off this book wi... moreth Rock-a-bye-Baby when the cradle blows away in the wind only to land on the Old Woman's shoe. She then knows she needs to set things right, but as she tries, the wind blows each of the other nursery characters or their items her way. One by one she goes about trying to restore order until at the end of the day things are just right.This was a cute story about helping others and remembering the things that are important. I love when books have a good lesson for children in them and this one did! It was easy to keep my daughters attention with this one too since there are so many familiar characters from some of her favorite nursery rhymes. I do think this was a little young for my daughter, but she still really enjoyed it. Especially the pictures. The artwork is really great.*An advanced copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive any compensation. less
