Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Opposite the simple declarative sentence, Walter was worried is a portrait of a very worried Walter. But wait! The letters that spell out his feelings form his facial characteristics, as well as his expression. Gradually a simple story unfolds: the sky grows dark, the fog rolls in, lightning lights the sky, and thunder shakes the trees; Priscilla was puzzled, Shirley was shocked, Frederick was frightened... and eventually (when the sun came out) Henry was hopeful, and Elliot ecstatic. <p/>This title has Common Core connections.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Innovative ...
