Richly deserving of a 1982 Caldecott Honor, Cynthia Rylant's childhood memories are beautifully illustrated by Diane Goode. In a future post, I will talk more about children's literature awards; for now, it is enough to say that, especially with the Caldecott Award for illustration, not all past award winners deserve our time and money. This one does. This would be a great read-aloud for grandparents who would, I'm sure, personalize the story. Quality = 5; Acceptability = 5.
