| Kindergarten-Grade 2. Janet lives in a house at the top of a very high hill, 87 steps up to be exact, with her parents and younger brother. Hers is not a typical household. Meals are shared but difficult to recognize (dinner might consist of apples and bits of cheese), and her mother and father are more apt to comment on the clouds than on what's for dinner. Janet clearly prefers sensible over dreamy, so it's not surprising that she accepts a weekend invitation to her Aunt Peppy's where beds are always made and the constant ringing of the phone is pure excitement. Thrilled by the hustle and bustle of her aunt's busy home, Janet is ready to stay forever. Still, it's not long before she begins to miss her parents' distinctive perspective and realizes that home is where she truly belongs. Family dynamics are convincingly portrayed and children will have little trouble identifying with Janet. Exuberant watercolor art captures the two different households at their very best. As in Home Lovely (Greenwillow, 1995), Perkins presents a not-so-typical slice-of-life story with credibility and sensitivity. A good choice for independent readers who aren't quite ready for chapter books.?Alicia Eames, formerly at Brooklyn Public Library

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Lynne's beautiful illustrations follow the text of the story and provide the visual 'melody' to accompany the words. Her book is not startling to children and yet conveys a powerful concept- that there are different ways to parent and there are different ways we perceive and exist in this world. I share it with friends. More, more, more please from this author! |
