Hyperion Book CH 1997 1st Edition Very Good/Very Good++ DJ in Plastic Ex-library with minimal circulation o/w Fine, minimal wear to jacket. From School Grade 1-4. The Fourth of July holiday is secondary to what this truly celebrates: family, in all its glory. Readers can't help but catch the infectious joy and excitement as 22 siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc., arrive at Maggie's house for a picnic. There is food galore, a new pool to play in, and sparklers. Everyone is named, everyone plays a role, even Shadow the dog who wants to climb in Granny's lap. Details bring the African-American family to life; the adults include lawyers, a nurse, and a teacher, and the kids range from taciturn 13-year-old Maurice, on a "short leash" for having been caught stealing candy, to little Willie, with his diapers down around his knees. Nothing extraordinary takes place, but with each fresh arrival it becomes clear that nothing momentous needs to happen because the whole is about an event in itself. The soft-edged, mixed-media illustrations help draw readers into the energy of this family's interactions. Gleaming faces glow against a richly hued, textured background. The unmistakable pride and pleasure of this all-American family shines bright.Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI 1997 From BooklistAges 5^-8. It's the Fourth of July, and they are celebrating over at Maggie's house. First comes Granny with her chocolate cake, then Uncle Jake and Aunt Alberta drive up with their carload of kids. Other relatives arrive with food and ready for fun. Maggie and her girl cousins jump rope. But cousin Maurice is feeling bad because he was caught taking candy from the drugstore. On one level nothing much happens here: the family comes to celebrate the Fourth, and everyone (even Maurice) has a good time. But the events that do occur, simple though they may be, capture the way Americans spend their holidays. Colon's illustrations, executed in watercolor wash and pencil on etched papers, glow with a warmth that shows what makes holidays special. Maggie's family is African American, but children of every race will see their own families reflected here. Ilene Cooper. Bookseller Inventory # 265700
