When a storm is raging, David and George are glad to be inside the house, snug and safe.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Gently illuminated watercolors add luster to this playful tale of two brothers who find that the excitement of a storm is surpassed only by the imaginary adventures it inspires. Ages 5-8.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3?For brothers David and George, the only thing more unforgettable than the gusty storm that assailed their neighborhood for most of one day is the downed giant elm they find the next morning. The formidable tree becomes a vehicle for hours of imaginative play and fanciful excursions. The stuff of boyhood memories.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

David Wiesner is one of the best-loved and most highly acclaimed picture book creators in the world. His books have been translated into more than a dozen languages and have won numerous awards in the United States and abroad. Three of the picture books he both wrote and illustrated became instant classics when they won the prestigious Caldecott Medal: Tuesday in 1992, The Three Pigs in 2002, and Flotsam in 2007, making him only the second person in the award's long history to have won three times. He has also received two Caldecott Honors, for Free Fall and Sector 7.

Wiesner grew up in suburban New Jersey, known to his classmates as "the kid who could draw." He went on to become a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he was able to commit himself to the full-time study of art and to explore further his passion for visual storytelling. He soon discovered that picture books were the perfect vehicle for his work.

Wiesner generally spends several years creating each new book. Many versions are sketched and revised until the story line flows smoothly and each image works the way he wants it to. He creates three-dimensional models of objects he can't observe in real life, such as flying pigs and lizards standing upright, to add authenticity to his drawings.

David Wiesner lives with his family outside Philadelphia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every boy should have this book
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2014

The book is the our favorite of our 3 year old (and ours!). Beautifully illustrated, and the story is perfect for a young boy. It is actually teaching him to use his imagination - we use the storyline during play and have such a fun time with it. I highly suggest this for a boy (or girl, but its a great brother tale) 2 and over.

For me, I have to admit, it's all about the paintings. Gorgeous.
I'm a huge fan of this writer/illustrator. Always so imaginative, and the realism of the pictures makes it even more believable. He deserves all of the awards he's won, and more.

Best children's book author. This isn't my favorite book, but it has some of my favorite illustrations (the two brothers in bed showing the whole room around them, so detailed and evocative). My favorite D. Wiesner book is Flotsam. A perfect book with no words! and gorgeous, inventive illustrations that tell a complex story. Tuesday is another favorite.

totally appropriate in a neighborhood hit hard by hurricaine Sandy. It balances reality and fantasy in such a wonderful way. A lesson in weather science, the coziness of home, and the exploration of the imagination.
