(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Cat Bowman Smith. Lazy, wired-in Parker is less than thrilled to be spending summer vacation with Great-uncle Philbert and Great-aunt Mattie on their farm with no electronics in sight. But, predictably, he eventually finds himself warmed and refreshed by their down-home lifestyle, with its Scrabble-playing, wood-splitting, and fishing. Though the story's message is too apparent, readers, like Parker, may be won over.
