SynopsisIn a rainbow-colored station wagon that smelled like a real car, the relatives came. When they arrived, they hugged and hugged from the kitchen to the front room. All summer they tended the garden and ate up all the strawberries and melons. They plucked banjos and strummed guitars. When they finally had to leave, they were sad, but not for long. They all knew they would be together next summer.
My granddaughter and I find more and more to enjoy each time we read this lovely book. She's 5 and we've been reading it since she was 3. One time we'll notice how many belly buttons we can see, or how many folks have one sock on, one sock off. Did you see the grandmother sucking her thumb? Total pleasure awaits if your eyes are good "finders".
This is a favorite book from a retired kindergarten teacher. When my own children and
grandchildren came to visit recently, I ordered multiple copies for every family with young children to remind them of our special time together.
