From the Inside Flap:

What is a Snickeyfritz? Do you have one? Based on a word invented by the author’s Grampa, Snickeyfritz tells the tale of three little girls who are stuck inside the house on a rainy day. After complaining that they’re bored, their Papa sends them on a clever little treasure hunt. Along the way the girls learn to entertain themselves by using their imaginations as they search for the strange and mysterious items on the list. Follow the girls on their pursuit and along the way discover your own Snickeyfritz.Eclectic and rich images, produced from photographs of life-size dolls set in artistic environments, create an atmosphere that welcomes us into this cozy home on a rainy afternoon. By using a combination of bygone and contemporary language, this story helps connect the split generation of grandparent and grandchild and appeals to readers of all ages and all imaginations.
