Josie and Mr. Jeet are the
Vanderbeekers beloved upstairs neighbors, so when Mr. Jeet has a stroke and is
rushed to the hospital the Vanderbeeker kids are upset. Josie and Mr. Jeet, who love plants, always
encouraged the kids to make use of the garden next to the church, so the kids
decide they want to surprise their neighbors when the return from the hospital. The Vanderbeekers, with the help of some
friends, secretly work on beautifying the garden.
I love these sweet Vanderbeeker kids and
their lovely neighbors and friends. If
you have readers who enjoy the Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall, then they will
adore the Vanderbeekers as well. The kids
range in age from 5-13, and this is a great read.
