Big Day on the River

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Randy Cecil. "Skinny-legs-tall" Willie is looking forward to taking her raft out on the river for the first time, but her silly relatives show up and sink it with their well-meant but ridiculous offerings. Instead of a watermelon or bicycle, all Willie needs are hugs and kisses for her trip. The text is full of figurative language that adds to the humor, and the illustrations aptly portray Willie's foolish but lovable family.
