"Another of Stevenson's picture-book reminiscences, this title is a tender tribute to the simple things the author enjoyed doing with his daughter when she was small. His recollections include teaching her to swim, choosing a pumpkin, collecting things, going to the zoo--all activities any parent and child might do together, each perfectly sketched in a line or two. With childlike watercolors that exactly fit the brief text, this book is a wonderful read-aloud for story times."--School Library Journal.
