Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-Brennan and Takabayashi celebrate summer in this tidy follow-up to their list of winter joys in Flannel Kisses (Houghton, 1997). In succinct verse, the book explores every sense's sampling of the season. Snippets of happy memories appear on every spread. "Pail and shovel,/Pat and bake,/Dry sand icing/On wet sand cake.-Hungry children/Slam screens./Buttered corn./Snapped beans." Indoors and out, watercolors reflect the white hot light or porch shade with equal panache. Takabayashi's primitive style is brimming with details of a happy, busy, country-style home in suburbia. Choose this title to dispel winter blahs, or for a storytime during that last week of school.

This companion to Flannel Kisses (1997) presents the fun of a summer day in a short text and diminutive watercolor artwork. There is no story, just brief words under the pictures: "Swing on a porch / With toast and jam" or, alongside a beach scene, "Pail and shovel, / Pat and bake, / Dry sand icing / on wet sand cake." Plot is replaced by mood in a most pleasing way. Delicate line work and lively patterns are the hallmarks of the art; each picture has a childlike simplicity and presence that match the text and will appeal to young audiences. Joyfully evocative.
