A Good Followup

Vera B. Williams has had a special place in my heart ever since I read her books as a child. With Music, she follows such classics as Cherries and Cherry Pits and A Chair For My Mother. Her recognizable illustrations and simple yet captivating style will enchant children and parents alike. This is a charmer that you won't dread reading as often as it will be requested. I like Cherries and Cherry Pits and A Chair For My Mother better, if only because they seemed a bit more original, but anything by Williams is worth checking out.
