    I love David Wiesner's illustrations (In late October with my 6th graders I
    usually do a pencil drawing lesson emphasizing light and dark values after
    reading Night of the Gargoyles that he illustrated and Eve Bunting wrote.)
    Sector 7 has terrific illustrations. From amazon.com's web site:
            Only the person who gave us Tuesday could have devised this
    fantastic tale, which begins with a school trip to the Empire State
    Building. There a boy makes friends with a mischievous little cloud, who
    whisks him away to the Cloud Dispatch Center for Sector 7 (the region that
    includes New York City). The clouds are bored with their everyday shapes, so
    the boy obligingly starts to sketch some new ones. . . . The wordless yet
    eloquent account of this unparalleled adventure is a funny, touching story
    about art, friendship, and the weather, as well as a visual tour de force.
