I wanted to use this wonderful little book for preschool story time at work, but alas, it's just too long. It would be perfect for reading with a preschooler on your lap. Fantastic illustrations show a little girl gathering up everything but clothes to take to grandma's house when mom tells her to pack her bag for the trip to grandma's. Sweet and fun.
