A Fire Engine for Ruthie

32 pp. | Clarion | August, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-618-15989-4 $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cyd Moore. Nana has plenty of girly activities planned for her granddaughter Ruthie's visit. Ruthie plays along, but her inner tomboy secretly longs for the toy trucks and trains down the street at Brian's house. Ruthie's true feelings come to light, and Nana comes around too. Softly detailed and playful illustrations add heart to a familiar story.
