Every once in a while I get nostalgic for books I read as a kid. I spent a lot of time at my grandparents' house, especially during summer. I particularly loved the Whitman books -- the Donna Parker books were particularly delightful. It definitely harkens to simpler times when an electric sewing machine was a very big deal and more mothers than not actually knew how to sew. Yes, it's dated but I still find the books charming and if I see one of the books I loved as a kid at a thrift store, I pi...more
I read all of the Donna Parker books when I was a kid during the summers I would spend at my grandparent's house. Those copies had belonged to my mom and aunts. I got all nostalgic for them the other day, so I checked Ebay and managed to score FIVE of the books for $5.84, including shipping!
The heroine, Donna Parker, is pretty and popular and always manages to say and do the right thing. Her only flaws seem to be that she hates eating breakfast and she likes sleeping late. :P

Read this whole series as a young girl. My daddy brought home the first one for me to read when I was in about 4th grade and home sick from school. It was the first "big" book I remember reading and I was hooked on reading from that point on!
I did so love these books when I was a kid!! I remember buying them for $.59 at Kresge's when I had money or asking for them for Christmas. Man, were things a LOT simpler then! My 2nd favorite of the whole series.
This is the first in the Donna Parker series. Donna and Ricky have just finished 8th grade and are junior camp counselors for the summer.
This is a pretty good book, but what a weirrrd camp. Didn't they get weighed by the camp doctor every day?
