Illustrated by
Kim LaFave.
A girl describes the fun she has visiting her grandfather's farm with her cousins. The writing is acute and the art is lovely in its simplicity; the children's happiness is palpable throughout. The vignettes are based on the author's childhood, and the story line is most likely to appeal to nostalgic adults.
