Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-13 00:00:00 Thomas O'finnegan Having almost been blown over by wind many times, the premise of this book became very interesting to me. The ladies in a town in Iceland could not think of a good solution to deal with the wind and how it was having a negative impact on their daily routines so they decided to plant trees. After some animals were not helping they built a fence and the wind was no longer a bother (well, most of the time). I have never been to Iceland but the illustrations from the story seem very realistic that it made me feel I was there. The background on each page looks like it can be most places, but with the text to describe the pictures it is most definitely Iceland. The people do not look completely realistic but their facial expressions do. This story would be a god one to use with students as an example of problem solving. Even more so, it can be lead to discussions on how to figure out solutions to problems with weather and daily life outside. While it would be a good read aloud on its own, I think I would incorporate it in science as a way to introduce aspects of weather or to come up with solutions when weather gives living a normal every day life some problems.
