The Secret Remedy Book: A Story of Comfort and Love

40 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | June, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-439-35226-6 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendy Anderson Halperin & Wendy Anderson Halperin. Lolly feels homesick while visiting Auntie Zep, so together they consult The Secret Remedy Book and carry out seven projects--including writing a cheerful letter and planting a seed. The cozy illustrations, with their delicate tints, fine sketchy lines, and numerous insets, borders, and tiny details, are aimed right at girls, with whom this book's almost-magic will resonate.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
