In this delightful children’s book, Lyndsay and Emily live with their grandparents, encounter some joyous adventures and introduce you to their colorful friends. Despite the short length of this book, Peach Street Follies is packed full of life lessons and adorable stories about two little girls. With each page turned, I imagined this as something like the ‘Family Circle’ cartoon where giggling girls have tea parties only to end up wearing their dress up clothes in a mud puddle and where little boys take little babies for a ride around the block while the unsuspecting parent snoozes
inside. Read this to your energetic brood just watch that they don’t get any ideas.

Susan Browning Pennington ‘s "Peach Street Follies" is one of the most enchanting books I’ve read in a long time.
It brought back memories of my childhood, as I read each chapter. I could envision the State Fair, what a
vision of delight, the many rides, the candy apples, games where you could win beautiful stuffed toys that would delight any child. Another chapter The Tooth Fairy, how many children have lost a tooth and were delighted to hear there was a magical fairy who came in
the night and left you a surprise. Lightning bugs, oh what a child’s delight, catching them, watching them light up in the dark. Her writing brings back a time when childhood
was innocent and that’s what we need today. I give Susan Browning Pennington 5 ***** stars for her great writing and memories we should all cherish.

Peach Street Follies is a charming tale of family life and love that rings with the incomparable warmth of truth. Lyndsey and Emily Pennington are sisters who live happily with their grandparents and Rosie, the family dog. Papa and Nana help the girls make every day a new adventure and the reader feels pulled into this loving family as the children go on a trip to the county fair … hatch a plot to catch the tooth fairy at work … even find a baby in a little red wagon on their doorstep. I found myself mentally in a mud puddle with the children on a special rainy day, and shivering with child-like excitement at the mysterious happenings during an overnight camp-out. When the girls and Nana create a very happy snowy-day birthday for a young friend, one almost tastes that first oh-so-delicious lick of chocolate frosting right off the beaters.
Susan Browning Pennington has created a warm and welcoming world that will be enjoyed by the young and the young-at-heart. This reader felt herself pulled cozily into the arms of a loving family. Pennington took me back to a childhood I thought mostly forgotten, and helped me remember what it was like to find adventure in every moment, and something exciting in every new day.
When vacationing at a mysterious Maine lighthouse, ten-year-old Dylan befriends a ghostly lighthouse keeper who must protect Dylan from danger after he learns a very big secret.
This second book in Edie's 'Puddle' series is filled with wonderful catchy rhyming poems that have positive nostalgic messages. Her whimsical illustrations carry the poems along on ripples of warm vibrant colours.
