(4) K-3 Illustrated by Guy Porfirio. In this holiday mood piece, a girl affectionately describes her extended family's traditional Fourth of July gathering. Nothing startling happens, but readers can enjoy the quirks of the various relatives as well as the details of the celebration, such as the U.S.-shaped Jell-O dessert. Though they sometimes seem posed, the illustrations offer some nice views of the relatives and the lakeside setting.
