Text Heavy, But Gripping Story

5-8 yrs. This book runs a little long in the text for 4 yrs. and younger, but older children should enjoy this. Jonathan, a wheel chair bound grade schooler doesn't like being singled out for his "condition." He hates all of the unwanted attention he recieves because of his disability.However, his ability to take care of himself, and the animals on the farm is put to the test when a bad storm, and twister happen upon is family's Indiana farm. Children will be easily drawn into the sotry with the wonderful watercolor illustrations that accurately depict tornado weather. My 4 yr old left the room out of boredom, but my six year old thoroughly enjoyed it.
