In this humorous picture book, Annabelle befriends Jethro and his fairy family, who are on their way to the Fairy Travelers' Picnic with their ice cream truck. In Graham's cheery, cartoonlike illustrations, the size difference between the little people and the humans is emphasized, and there are a lot of witty details to catch the eye. Readers will find Annabelle's enthusiasm for the Byrd family contagious.
