BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

Phil and Lily are headed off to Grandma's house for a three day visit.  Since this is the first time they have slept over, Lily is a little worried that she will miss everything that is familiar to her. 

Flowers illustrations are nice and bright. This might sound weird or picky, but I thought the text type face and the illustrated words were a bit too big - I felt like I was being shouted at and they occult so much space on the page. But my pickiness besides, the Rosenthal’s do a great job expressing some of the nervous feelings that might come from a  first sleepover - even at Grandma’s.
