(4) PS Illustrated by Ted Rand. On alternating pages, Cummins contrasts Ben's country life with Jody's life in the city: e.g., Ben's school bus drives many miles on country roads, while Jody takes a crowded city bus to school. In a feel-good ending, they meet and become friends at Camp Eagle Ridge. Although the text is less a story than a listing of differences, the handsome illustrations bring the children and their environments to life.
