Customer Reviews

We LOVE this book

This book is just fantastic. I am so sad that it's out of print! Not only are the stories touching and absolutely honest, there are some laugh out loud funny parts. My daughter quotes lines from the book from memory just so we can crack up together! Highly, highly recommended. Get your hands on a copy any way you can!

A sweet and satisfying read

Janetta, a city girl, is not certain that she will like visiting her grandfather in rural Georgia. She's never been in the country before and everything--including the mule--frightens her. Grandaddy, however, is a gentle man wise to feelings and needs of little girls. He soon puts her at ease by telling outrageous tall tales. Their relationship grows closer throughout a series of visits.This is a remarkably sweet--but never cloying--book. The book is a reprint of three previously published books, but the stories flow together so well that it seems as though they were originally designed to be one book. The chapters are short enough and contain enough pictures to encourage beginning chapter book readers. The characters are engaging and the stories are funny and frequently touching.
