Illustrated by
Heather Harms Maione.
Elisa's summer is a string of everyday adventures. During the first weeks, she misses her brother Russell who is at camp; when he returns, the whole family vacations in the country. Elisa continues to be a warm, likable little girl who grows in small, realistic ways. Maione's black-and-white line drawings, done in the style of Lillian Hoban, are consistent with the artwork of the earlier books.
