Customer Reviews

Wonderful book for an avid 5 year old reader.

My almost 6 year old daughter fell in love with this book after reading it in the waiting room of a doctor's office. It is a delightful book that takes you on a the journey of a little girl that visits her grandads farm, at first reluctantly, then as she experiences the fun that a farm and country-life has to offer, she warms up to the idea of being away from home. The story is told via letters that are written to the little girl's mother, ala "Don't Forget to Write". We donated a copy to our elementary schools media center (however, I have yet to receive it) and our media center specialists (librarian) also loved it. I cannot believe how difficult it is to get this book. I think the book distributors have missed the boat on this one. Start promoting and marketing this book and I guarantee, you'll have a best-seller on your hands. Thank you Martina Selway for your creativity in writing this delightful book!
