 Vibrant characters, exciting action, and the premise that even children can do hard things make this a wonderful story. Woven by a master storyteller!

 I was assigned to read this in college... in order to study the scientific method and how it applies to elementary schools.

Indeed, science is a strong theme in this story, but what totally got me was the idea of a village coming together for a dream (so sue me, I'm a sucker for those kinds of stories).

Here we have a class of kids who decided they want to bring storks to their village. Because we all want giant birds lying around on our roofs. But why aren't their storks? How can they get the storks to come?

This turns from a theoretical experiment into an exciting and touching adventure to make a dream come true.

Adorable and great literature indeed.
