The Weather's Bet by Ed Young - ADVISABLE

The Weather's Bet by Ed Young, words by Stephen Cowan PICTURE BOOK Philomel Books, (Penguin Random House), 2020, $19. 9780525513827

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

The Wind the Rain and the Sun see a Shepherd and the Wind makes a bet it it can make her lose her cap. So it blows and blows but the cap stays put, so the rain tries, and soaks the shepherd, but she still keeps her hat on, but then, the sun comes out. 

Ed Young's retelling of the Aesop fable is spectacular. His mixed media collage is artistic and vibrant.
