"Summer nights can be unbearably hot in the city, but Benny and her big sister have found a way to beat the heat. The girls reach for the full moon outside their window, and then name the scents and sounds that seep through the screen. Each new wave tells the sisters something about their diverse neighbors; Mr. Berkowitz smokes a cigar while he listens to jazz, Ana and Felix dance after dinner to Latin Music, and Mrs. Pinkett's fried fish makes the alley cats howl with hunger. But then a soothing new sound drifts into their bedroom like snow and finally lulls the sisters to sleep." p.4 of cover. No library descriptions found. |
