"Old Hannibal And The Hurricane" by Berthe Amoss


This book reads so nicely- so smooth and sweet, and it demands an Irish baroque. I love reading this book to Bowden, and I try to get him to pick it more than he wants.
I don't know of any "bedtime" book for children of Bowden's age that makes it so easy to read the drama. I have no idea where we got this book- probably a hand-me-down from someone at the P.D. judging from the way it just showed up at my house, but I am glad we have it.
Bowden loves a good sea story, but who doesn't?
(Hyperion Books For Children, 1991)
