R. W. Alley.
This somewhat nostalgic story features two young children visiting their grandparents' farm. When the youngsters bumble typical activities such as picking apples and gathering eggs, instead of criticizing them, the grandparents gently show them a better way, ending with a fond bedtime. The upbeat, affectionate mood is reinforced by delicate mixed-media art with humorous touches.
