Shora is a small fishing village in the Netherlands. Lina wonders why storks no longer come to Shora, and her school class tries to learn the reasons. Soon the whole town is involved in the effort to bring the storks back to Shora!

I enjoyed listening to this 1955 Newbery winner, but I missed the Maurice Sendak illustrations from the hard copy.

Unabridged on 4 cassettes.

2016 update: thank you LWB for the cover scan! It looks like the story is probably read by Anne T. Flosnik, if this is the Listening Library edition.

I just finished listening. The story became more and more fascinating. Starting with Lina's curiosity why storks don't come to Shora, the whole village changes.

The cover says for children 8 and up. It's definitely a great story for children. But even I as an adult found it fascinating after a kind of slow start.
