A Season of Gifts

Peck, Richard. (2010). A Season of Gifts. New York: Penguin.

Another book about Grandma Dowdel.  The Bob Barnhart family moves in next door.  Ruth Ann the youngest of the three Barnhart children immediately falls for Grandma and her antics.  Grandma works her magic on the rest of the family too, without their knowing it of course.

I had mixed feelings about this third book about Grandma Dowdel.  I guess I really enjoyed her adventures with Mary Alice and this one just didn't strike me as funny and entertaining as the others.  Still an excellent holiday book though...the kids will love it!
