Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-02 00:00:00 Anand Modha Go back to a time when life was hard but peaceful. A time when you knew all your neighbors,and read books to each other.A time when character defined who you are. Imagine living in a wooded environment close to huge sand dunes overlooking Lake Michigan. Just think about living among animals;flowers;and a setting that cultivates creativity and curiosity.Read about an oasis,so close to Chicago,yet so distinctly different with time standing still in the wooded swamp.A classic tale so beautiful in it's simplicity and charm.A story to warm your heart about the value of grandparents and life in Furnessville,Indiana,which is just as beautiful today.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-12-04 00:00:00 Dave Hybertson Cute book with some laugh-out-loud moments. I could very much relate since I grew up in his hometown area and raised my son in the dune area that the author visited each summer. Interesting, there is a house with a plaque in the dunes area that tells about the author and his visits, as mentioned in the book. A fun read.
