Maine Adventures

On the way to Maine last weekend, Ms. Ivy discovered Robert McCloskey.  On a whim I picked up "One Morning in Maine" thinking it contained too many words for Ivy and not enough color.  Wrong! The connection to Maine and the simple yet beautiful story of Sally's loose tooth made Ivy request the book over and over.  Poor Sally dropped her tooth while clamming with her dad.  Will her wish she made on her tooth ever come true?  Find out as Sally travels from her beautiful island in Maine to get groceries in town on another island with her little sister and dad.  

After trying "One Morning in Maine", I picked up a copy of "Blueberries for Sal" at the library.  Ivy liked this one almost as much.  It is the story of two simultaneous moms and daughters picking blueberries to store for the winter - one bear - one human.  When the two "cubs" follow the wrong mom, the adventure begins.
