Illustrated by
Maggie Smith.
As they do each year, a little girl and her parents take a ferry ride out to their summer island. The story line is simple but includes many details about the boat ride and conveys the flavor of the exciting ritual. Smith's illustrations of round-faced, cheerful people are as comfortable as the anticipated vacation.
