Auntie's House is a fun rhythmic story told from the child's perspective of the adventures she has at Auntie's house while her mother is at work.
Told from the child's perspective, "Auntie's House" answers the universal questions of every child left in the care of someone other than a parent. "What will I do all day long? Are there fun things to do here? Will Mommy come back for me?"
"When 'one book and then another' is read to a wondering child, I'm sure the rhythms and rhymes of this lively adventure will lead the child to demand, 'Again!'" John Leax Poet-In-Residence, Houghton College Author, "Grace Is Where I Live"
Excerpt
"Inside the box are books and blocks.
There are trains, truck, and pretty tea cups.
I clap my hands. I jump for joy.
"Oh Auntie," I say, "May I play with these toys?"
"Of course little one. Let's have some fun!"
Sounds like a delightful read with the power to soothe the concerns no doubt shared by many children. I enjoyed reading the excerpt.
The book appears to be widely available.
Gary Grasshopper and friends travel to another field to celebrate the birthday of Gary's best friend, Freddie Firefly. While there they encounter a group of cicadas who have been underground for thirteen years.
