The February Selection

The Chronicles of Harris Burdick
by Chris Van Allsburg

Many years ago Harris Burdick gave 14 mysterious pictures each with a title and a caption to a book maker and promised to return the next day with the stories that go along with the images but he disappeared never to return. Now we finally have the collection of missing stories to go with the images by award-winning authors. Grades 5-9
