I Remember Papa

32 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-1848-9 | Library ISBN 0-8037-1849-7
(4) K-3 Sepia-steeped gouache illustrations and a nostalgic text tell the story of a farm boy who goes on a surprise trip to the city to watch a Reds game and buy a baseball glove. After the boy loses his money, stoic Dad hands over funds intended for buying new boots so his son can realize his dream. The sentimental story will likely be of more appeal to adults than children.
