This is one of those books where I wanted to get another
book by an author granddaughter and I had previously read. So at bedtime last night I read it to her as
she looked at the pictures. Half way
through the book, she began reading every other page. When we finished she asked to read it
aloud. No arm twisting, this kid!
Doris’s little brother gives us his first person impression
of what it’s like to be ready for school, if only because he wants a lunch
box. His big sister gets not only a
lunch box but a pencil case with a ruler, two new pencils, and two pink erasers. All he gets was a coloring book about space
men and a box of crayons – but no lunch box.
He wants one so much he dreams about having one for every day of the
week. Well – you’ve heard the adage that
dreams do come true. So you can imagine
how this dear story ends.
