Grandma Summer

32 pp. | Viking | June, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-670-88260-7 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Feeling at first disinterested, cautious, and ill-tempered about his trip to his grandmother's seaside cottage, Ben is won over by her contagious excitement and love of the ocean in this well-told story. Grandma's caricature-like face is a bit jarring, but the rest of the watercolor and line drawings nicely capture the ambiance and the details of an old beach house in summer.
