Tornado by
Betsy Byars
Age Range: 6-10
A tornado appears in the distance, and Pete, the
farmhand, gathers everyone into the storm cellar. While they
wait for the storm to pass, he tells the family about the dog
dropped down by a tornado when Pete was a boy. Named Tornado,
Pete's pet was no ordinary dog — he played card tricks, saved a
turtle's life, and had a rivalry with the family cat. By the
time Pete tells all of Tornado's lively stories, the storm has
passed, and another family has been entertained by this very
special dog. |
