When
a special gift for Grandma arrives one sunny day, a little girl decides
to deliver the gift in person. Though Grandma's house is just a
hop, skip, and a jump away, to the girl, it seems like a long way.
And it takes a special kind of creativity to get there.
So come along on this fun-filled journey of the imagination and discover where the world of make-believe can take you. “One cardboard box plus one girl’s active imagination equals an extended jaunt to Grandma’s house next door with a detour into make-believe . . . . Background details, like a Humpty Dumpty knickknack among the kitchen clutter, add to the story’s buoyant, can-do tone. Readers are continually treated to clues as to where the resourceful girl gets her creative spirit, as in the whimsical mailbox her mother paints or the concluding “tea party” grandma hosts. A clever synergy of art and text, and an invigorating romp into the realm of childhood play.” Publishers Weekly |
