Kite Day: A Bear and Mole Story

Holiday House, Incorporated, 2012 - Juvenile Fiction - 32 pages

On a windy spring day, what do Bear and Mole decide to do? Why, fly a kite, of course! But first they have to build one. They design, measure, and finally construct their kite. With a zoom, zoom, zoom the kite soars up, up, up in the air. But when a storm rumbles in—SNAP!--the kite string breaks! the chase is on as the two friends tear after their kite and find it in a tree, protecting a nest of baby birds from the rain. This sweet story makes a perfect read-aloud for young readers, and all will enjoy celebrating National Kite Month this spring!
