Chronicle To Books The Wheel on the School (學校屋頂上的輪子 #1)

Why do 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 to Shora. The force of their vision put the whole village to work until at last the dream began to come true.

Loved the narrative voice. A feel good story of Holland. Terrific teacher working with a class of 6 students gets things moving after Lina reads her little stork report. All the people of Shora, young and old, work to get that wheel and lure those storks.

When I weigh the pros and cons of homeschooling, reading this book is a prominent pro. It was lovely. It was perfect. But I didnt read it as a kid. And my kids would not likely have picked it to read. I picked it on my turn to pick the book we read together, and it was an absolutely lovely, perfect read for a family contemplating the meaning of education and the importance of community. It is also a good time to be reminded in lovely ways how one persons curiosity, cultivated and shared, can

This is a darling story about a group of children living in a tiny Holland village trying to encourage storks to settle in their town. The story is very simple, but had a few deep moments (like watching Janus's transformation).I probably would have given it just 3 stars except for one thing. Near the beginning, the children divide up and go on a 'quest'. We hear about the same afternoon from each of their points of view. I enjoyed how those 5 stories were interconnected and came together at the

2019: Reread for Children's Book Week. And just as thoroughly charming as the first read, and the second. Love this book!Several years ago, my not-so-evil twin Trish recommended this Newbery Medal winner, which honestly, I'd never heard of, much less read. I really liked it a lot and would add my recommendation. It's the story of a small group of Dutch schoolchildren who work together and with the people of their small fishing village to try to entice storks back to the village to bring them

We loved this book. It was simple and I am pretty sure the storyline takes place in less than a week, but it was captivating none the less. It reminded me of a Backman novel (Ove, or Britt Marie) for kids. A small Dutch town that is filled with disconnected, lonely people comes together when the school children decide they want storks to resume nesting on their roofs. We watch the bitter, legless man and the century old fisherman and too busy fathers and mothers renew connections with each other

This cute book won the Newbery Award in 1955. It is illustrated in black and white by Maurice Sendak.This story takes place in the small village of Shora in the Netherlands. Theonly girl of the 5 students at the town school, Lina, writes a story wondering why Shora doesn't have storks like the neighboring towns. The teacher tells the kids to wonder about it. Which leads to their discussing it. They learn that Shora did have storks, and their oldest neighbors remember them. The students learn

I was delighted to find that not only does this book age very well, but it also joins Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH as one of the very few books in which the antagonist is a problem or situation rather than a human. The plot really is as simple as it sounds: the students want to put a wagon wheel on their school so that they can get storks to roost there. Problem-solving ensues. They encounter all sorts of physical, environmental, meteorological, and even economic obstacles, but at no point
