Amazon Description
In 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.
One Potato Review
We get fussy sometimes about our personal space and daily routines; here is a raucous reminder of the inconveniences of a family visit, and the memories that finally outweigh them. With fiddles, pets, alternative sleeping arrangements, and electric illustrations by Stephen Gammel.
