I used this story as an opener for my yr1 class into wind and other natal forces. They loved the story and enjoyed using their own 'wind' to make blow paint pictures after reading it.

A pat on the back for pat
12 Aug 2004
Format:Paperback
This reviewer has a very high regard for the work of Pat Hutchins. Her word play and smart, snappy prose keep children of all ages entertained for hours. "The Wind Blew" is part of her "Metre-ology" (literally "Weather Poetry") series, and is one of the strongest candidates to win the John Kettley Prize later this year. If you're new to Pat (as her fans, or "patters" call her) then I'd suggest you try "The Rain Read" first. Her first book, "The Snow Yello" was pulled from the shelves when the Swiss electro-pop noise-mongers after which the book was named banned Hutchins from using their famous moniker and threatened legal action. Copies of this rare book can fetch up to 60 pence on ebay.
"The Wind Blew" charms and disarms in equal measures, and younger children will be delighted and excited by the colourful illustrations. A lovely addition to your bookshelf.

The Wind Blew
11 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
Another wonderful Pat Hutchins book! I have been reading Pat's books to children and giving them as gifts for over twenty five years. They are always a hit. This book gives children action to anticipate, funny characters to laugh with and good visuals to "explain" the concepts of wind and air movement.
