### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Masterpiece
  

*by F***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2014*

We keep a lot of kids books in the house, and this is my favorite.  In my opinion this is a children's literature masterpiece.  The Nightwatch, Guernica, One Hundred Years of Solitude-- in that vein.  Along so many dimensions it shows levels of storytelling, art, and craftsmanship that are so immaculate, I almost tear up trying to describe it any further.It's a bit of a longer read-- for a child it is almost an epic-- which kind of requires an earlier bedtime, or a non-school night.  Maybe that keeps it special for us.For my kids, it might not be on their top 3 lists at any given time-- but those change every couple months anyhow.  I think spending the time reading this to them, showing them the love of nature, and of a simpler world, and for the ones I read it to, far outweighs more fleeting pleasures (which of course are important as well).  That's what it means to be a parent anyhow.  So make it a part of your life.

    Beautiful Childhood Summer
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020*

I have loved this story since I was a child, and now decades later I give it as gifts for relatives and friends' children to learn to read.  The two girls at the center of the story experience the joys of vacation on a island off the coast of Maine, apparently an annual family event for them.  The watercolor paintings catch the beauty and subtlety of color of water, land, forest, and weather.  I love the page where the girls are in a rowboat shining a flashlight into the water.  The build to the big storm gives a strong push to the narrative, and the paintings capture it perfectly.  A great book for curling up with a loved child.
