Illustrated by
Margot Apple.
Big Mama is everyone's favorite grandma, and all the neighborhood youngsters love to spend time with her. On special afternoons, she takes them to Woody's for ice cream, a leisurely outing where getting there and back is at least as wonderful as the treat itself. The imaginative, colored pencil illustrations capture the nostalgic flavor of small-town America in an earlier era.
