WHEEL ON THE CHIMNEY
by Margaret Wise Brown & illustrated by Tibor Gergely
A basic life cycle story- of migrating storks in Europe and Africa- has a simple charm in Margaret Wise Brown's telling and a charming brilliance in Tibor Gergely's panorama pictures. The story starts with spring atop a small Hungarian chimney. When the birds fly south in the fall, they live in deep Africa with the flamingos until spring comes and the Hungarian farmer again puts up his wheel for their nest.
