When I Was Young in the Mountains
This seems like a memoir of a girls time growing up in the coal mining mountains and all the good times she had there. It is nice to see what a loving environment she had to grow up in. She had a dark water hole that snakes would be in and they would jump in anyway - I can't imagine. Their grandma killed a long black snake and they took a picture with it draped over the shoulders of 4 kids to show how big it was. Unusual.
The artwork didn't do much for me. I didn't think it was especially Caldecott worthy, but it did tell the story just fine. This very much reminded me of my time growing up with family reunions and all the hugs and people piling in together. I spent 50 weeks a year looking forward to these 2 weeks of the year. It was my favorite time. Now, I love my own space more and I can't imagine being so packed together. How I've changed. I still love getting together with family.
The nephew would jump in the water with the snake, he said. Go figure. His momma would have a heart attack if he did that. He thought the story was ok and he gave this 3 stars. The niece thought it looked like a nice summer, but there were too many snakes in the story. She would not like that. She gave this 2 stars.
