The downtown day Book

I think I liked this one even better than the first (In Aunt Lucy's Kitchen: Ready-for-Chapters) in the series. The girls' personalities shine and I love their idea of making a miniature flower shop for Aunt Lucy. It's just so cute; their enthusiasm over the idea, their fun browsing in the little craft store, and their friendship as they laugh and chat and dream while they make the surprise. Reminds me of me and my sister when we were little! Also, Michael features prominently in this book and, like Aunt Lucy, I am quite smitten with him--his patience, his kindness, his messy hair, sweet nature and his love of exotic teas! ;-) I look forward to more in this charming series.
