Reviews
"Rylant delights in the simple joys of living with her grandparents in the Appalachian Mountains: fresh cornbread, the swimming hole, bathing in the tin tub, snakes, and the community church. Surrounding all of these memories is the loving relationship with her grandparents. Warmly rendered illustrations complement the lyrical text."-- School Library Journal "An evocative remembrance of the simple pleasures in country living; splashing in the swimming hole, taking baths in the kitchen, sharing family times, each is eloquently portrayed here in both the misty-hued scenes and in the poetic text."- -Association for Childhood Education International

BEAUTIFUL BOOK!!!!!!!
When my children were young I purchased this book for them and remember reading this to them at bedtime. I loved this book so much! It is a beautiful book that leaves you with a warm and nostalgic feeling for a time that's lost when "things" and acquiring "things" was not what life was about. I purchased this recently for my granddaughter and she loved it also. She asked me to read it to her over and over again. It was my pleasure!

Caldecott winner worth reading!
I was very happy to find a copy of this book, as it is one of my favorites. I am a retired media specialist and used this book as an example of good description in autobiography-and a portrait of growing up in the mountains. Such a good book - with beautiful illustrations.
