Hurry Granny Annie

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Eve Aldridge. Bespectacled and fleet of foot despite her cane, Granny Annie runs pell-mell past a fishing hole, through a grove of trees, and across a field with Ruth, Joe, and Charlie in pursuit. At ocean's edge, the kids discover what the big hurry was: Granny's keen to watch the setting sun. The lively and humorous watercolor pictures are sometimes awkwardly rendered, but they complement the story of hurrying up to slow down.
