Time of Wonder Audiobook

" I loved "Make Way for Ducklings" but don't feel this one has stood the test of time. I don't think it would hold interest for my students today. "

" This one felt a little long but the artwork was beautiful. "

" My dad visited Maine every summer when he was young -- I wonder why he's never mentioned this book to me? "

" I asked my mom to read this aloud to me before reading seeing the pictures. What imagry he uses with his words. I could easily visualize each setting as the summer progressed. I have never visited Maine, but I felt that with his words, I was transported there. "

" Same guy who did Make Way for Ducklings and Blueberries for Sal. Writing is kind of abstract. "

" This book makes you feel like you are really there. The pictures are gorgeous. "

" Beautiful book that celebrates a child's wide-eyed time in nature. I know it's set in Maine, but it reminds me of Washington's San Juan islands. Softly colored illustrations set the gentle tone. "

" Text speaks to the reader as you and describes what you are doing over the course of a summer spent on a Maine island. Poetic language, soft, watercolor paintings depict nature scenes. Must read/see. "

" It almost felt like I was there in the book, visiting this place. "

" This book has beautiful pictures in it. The story is good, too. "

" This is a long picture book with a lot of text, so I would not read it to young children, but all children can enjoy the illustrations. This would also be great to use with older children when discussing how to use descriptive language. "

" This one was just... meh. I didn't care for it too much, but the art was nice. "

" So different from some of our books today... "

" Caldecott Winner 1958 "

" Summer at the sea in New England...this book gives you a feeling of what it's like. "

" This book may be a little slow for some kids, but the imagery of the text combined with the pictures really make for a good book. There isn't much action. The book describes the wonders of simply enjoying a place throughout all sorts of seasons, weather and activities. "

" This story is written in the second person, and has a sort of detached memory-of-the-past feel to it. "

" This book was a nice adventure book. It has some tough vocabulary but a goo book for imagination. "

" I love Robert McCloskey and his pictures! "

" A love poem to summer on the islands of Maine. McCloskey's sensory details and light-filled painted illustrations make the setting almost tangible. "
