Fantastic Book!!!
This is my kids all time favorite book. They ask me to read it to them over and over again. They just can't get enough of Velma Gratch. I think that we all have a little bit of Velma in us, and that is one of the things that is so applealling about it. I highly recommend it.

WHILE CHECKING OUT THE INSTRUMENTS ON STAGE, HE GETS STUCK...BUT ALL ENDS WELL. ...

a must for children that have a parent deployed
My husband is overseas in the military and for periods longer than 100 days. I read this as a read aloud for my children.
