Time for the Fair
language
(Down East Books Jan. 1, 2005)
Grace loves the fair. She loves it so much, she keeps asking her mother if it is time for the fair again. But a whole year must pass before the fair returns. This is a simple story about how a child anxiously passes the time from one season to the next. The text descriptions are wonderfully evocative, and the story's rhythmic, seasonal flow and soft watercolor illustrations make it a great bedtime story.
