(1) K-3 With insight, warm humor, and close observation, Perkins tells the story of a family's summer vacation. Perkins is exhilaratingly free in her approach to the picture book form; here she incorporates the girl's snapshots and notebook entries into text and art (lush but down-to-earth watercolors) and plays with type placement where appropriate. Throughout there is an attention to the details of childhood.
