Tender and touching,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Market Day (Trophy Picture Books) (Library Binding)
I read this book to my 4 and 5 year old boys, and they loved it. It really gives the flavor of market day in an Irish village. What makes it so much better is the touching story of Tess' 7 year ol friend, Wee Boy, who has not grown since age 4. He looks into a rabbit hutch and sadly wonders if he will be able to live in such a tiny house himself when he is grown up. Tess feels sorry for him and takes him to a Fortune Teller, even though her mother told her people are only told what they want to hear. Wee Boy's spirits soar after he hears his fortune and he and Tess spend the rest of the magical day together. In fine Market Day fashion they make a deal to meet again next Market Day. A delightful read for young and old!

Market Day,
By Mary Cronin (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Market Day (Trophy Picture Books) (Hardcover)
Market Day is a lively, colorful picture book set in Ireland. The main character is a spunky girl who joins her best friend, Wee Boy, at the town's market place. They peruse the peddlers' wares and enjoy the animals and performances by local characters. Lots of local color and authentic cultural details in text and illustrations. My three year old daughter loves it, and so do I!
