Saturdays and Teacakes

Saturdays and Teacakes is a wonderful picture book that depicts a day in the life of a young boy going to see his grandmother.
The story is by Lester L. Laminack and the illistrations are by Chris Soentpiet.

The story starts out in a little southern town in the 1960's with a young boy setting out on a saturday morning to see his grandmother. The book takes you through his bike ride to his Mammaw's house, helping her do some chores, and of course helping her make some teacakes.

The real thing that steals the show of this book are the wonderful pictures. They really catch the feel of the 60's in perfect harmony with the strory. My personally favorites being of the kitchen. My mother, Dymphna, loves them especially because she says that they really capture the way a 1960's kitchen looked from the furniture to the dishes.

I love this book very much, it captures a time period very well and tells a good story without fierce warriors or dragons. It's just a simple day, that is sure to put a simple smile on your face. ***** FIVE STARS!
