The Story

Meteor!

The Story (From Penguin Putnam)
The meteor that crash lands in the middle of Grandma and Grandpa Gaw's yard sets off a chain of events that brings magic to the residents of Mudsock Meadow. A remarkable true-life event comes alive in this reissue of Patricia Polacco's very first picture book. 'Based on a true event, this enchanting book overwhelmingly expresses the magic that suddenly pervades a small town, from the funny, folksy way the story is told to the imaginative, full-color illustrations.'

-Publishers Weekly

'Polacco's full-color pictures are completely in tandem with the telling

-Booklist (starred review)
