(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Soentpiet. Reminiscing nostalgically about his boyhood in Alabama in the 1960s, the narrator recalls his weekly visits to his grandmother's house, where he mowed the lawn and helped her make delicious teacakes. The watercolors are minutely lit and detailed, but the figure painting is stiff. While both text and illustrations are occasionally self-conscious, they invite readers into the narrator's memory.
