From bright morning sun streaming in the bedroom window to bedtime kisses given from sticky toasted-marshmallow lips, here is the joyful activity of a perfect summer day. In between is time for baking sand cakes, hanging teepees under a tree, paddling in the wading pool, and picking and eating fresh corn and beans from the garden. Young and old will relish this warm evocation of the simple pleasures of summer. Kick off your shoes to taste this sweet and satisfying treat!

Mari Takabayashi was born in Tokyo, Japan, and studied at Otsuma Women’s College. She illustrated Flannel Kisses and Marshmallow Kisses and is the author and illustrator of I Live in Brooklyn and I Live in Toyko. She lives with her husband and their two children in New York.
PreSchool-Grade 3-Brennan and Takabayashi celebrate summer in this tidy follow-up to their list of winter joys in Flannel Kisses (Houghton, 1997). In succinct verse, the book explores every sense's sampling of the season. Snippets of happy memories appear on every spread. "Pail and shovel,/Pat and bake,/Dry sand icing/On wet sand cake.-Hungry children/Slam screens./Buttered corn./Snapped beans." Indoors and out, watercolors reflect the white hot light or porch shade with equal panache. Takabayashi's primitive style is brimming with details of a happy, busy, country-style home in suburbia. Choose this title to dispel winter blahs, or for a storytime during that last week of school.
