Baby Maureen has only been home from the hospital a few weeks when she gets pneumonia, and the dePaola family is scared. Will she pull through? The school year ends with Tomie starring in a dance recital and eager to find out who his first grade teacher will be. What a disappointment to hear that he'll have to wait all summer before he knows if it will be Miss Kiniry. Summer is great as the neighborhood celebrates the Fourth of July and the family goes to the beach with the cousins. Then it's time to go back to school. Will Tomie get Miss Kiniry? Will he finally learn to read? Will he get his library card? Following Here We All Are and the Newbery Honor-winning 26 Fairmount Avenue, Tomie DePaola gives us another slice of growing up in a memoir as warm, humorous and charming as ever.
