Synopsis

In this adaptation of The Emperor's New Clothes, Mayor Peacock declares he will hire a tornado tamer to protect the town. After a long search, Travis arrives to fill the position and this trickster weasel has a plan. He will build a very special, transparent cover to protect the town. Travis' magical cover is so transparent that only those smart enough and special enough can even see it. Mouse is doubtful, but his questions are brushed off. Months later, the cover has been hung and Travis has been paid a hefty sum, but a tornado is in the distance and the town is in its path. Will the magic cover protect the town?

About this title

Review:

This is an amusing rewrite, with bright illustrations and lots of additional information in the back about weather in general and tornadoes in particular. - Puget Sound Council for the Review of Children's Media

From the beautiful illustrations to the magically crafted story line, Tornado Tamer is a unique and colorful book that is sure to please. - The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

I like how the animals talk. I like the picture where the weasel is really fat. The clothes the animals are wearing are funny. They are dressed like cowboys, western people. There are lots of facts and an experiment in the back. I like that! - Kids Book Buzz
