A Farm of Her Own

32 pp. | Dutton | May, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46507-3 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kathleen Kolb. In a nostalgic glimpse of farm life, young Emma spends the summer on her great-aunt and -uncle's farm in Vermont. More a reminiscence than a story, the text is illustrated with richly colored paintings that call to mind an idyllic, pastoral world. The last section, in which an adult Emma purchases the farm and lives there herself, seems tacked on and lacks child appeal.
