Time of Wonder (Picture Puffin) by
Robert McCloskey
An Astoundingly Beautiful Book
The spell of rain, gulls, a foggy morning, the excitement of sailing, the quiet
of the night, the sudden terror of a hurricane, and the peace of a Maine
island as a family packs up to leave are shown in poetic language and
vibrant, evocative pictures.
Personal Review: Time of Wonder (Picture Puffin) by Robert
McCloskey
Time of Wonder was read to me as a young girl, as was most of Robert
McCloskey's other books, Burt Dow, Blueberries for Sal, Make Way for
Ducklings. I treasure the memories of seeing those startling pictures as a
child. The uprooted tree! The glacial scratch where the children went
swinmming! The storm! Only through repetition and re-reading over
several years did the stories come together and make sense, but the
process was completely enjoyable and enthralling.

The best part of all was re-encountering the stories as an adult. For some
reason I especially love "Time of Wonder", but all his books occupy a
toasty and happy place in my heart.
