Are dreams contagious? The Wheel on the School shows how one little girl passes her dream of storks coming to her village on to her classmates, who continue to pass it on until it has spread throughout the small Dutch fishing village of Shora. Soon the entire village is working together to try to make this dream come true. This Newbery Award winning novel shows that people are alike in many ways no matter where they live. Maurice Sendak's sketches make this a terrific book. Category: Award Books; Historical. Grade Level: Intermediate (4th-6th grade). 1954, HarperCollins. Ages 9 to 12. Subjects:
