This book was amazing to me because it perfectly put into words the things I would feel as a child. I used to do many of the same things as the character in this story did such as fish, spend time at a cabin in the woods, and water ski. The imagery created by the words is awesome and the pictures that go along are really beatiful too. I liked the emotion that this story had to share.

This is a great book for children to relate to. The book is about a summer vacation and the child's imagination, something every child experiences. This book would be great to read close to the summer.
For its figurative language and recurring language, for its powerful memory evoking description, this book is a wonder. Well worth the read. Highly recommended.
This is good exampke of a memoir about a place. The author uses good descriptive imagery.
Takes a simple observation/memory and makes it a keepsake. Illustrations are luxurious.

Loved the art work.
If you live in Minnesota and have a cabin you will love this book. Even if you don't do the cabin thing, you can appreciate the descriptive details in this book.
I love the way the author paints the scenes with her use of descriptive words, comparisons, and similies. It's almost like reading poetry.
