Product Description

 
When six school children notice that there are no storks--believed to bring good luck--in the tiny Dutch village they live, they put a wheel on the roof of their school to entice the storks to build a nest there. Soon the whole town gets involved in trying to bring the storks back, fighting the elements of wind and tide to do so. Winner of the 1955 Newbery Medal.

Review: What a wonderful, little known discovery! A Newberry Award winner, this story captivated my seven year old so much that we read it through three times back-to-back, and she wanted to begin it all over again!
