From Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-In Mountain Wedding (Morrow, 1996), Mama Searcy married Mr. Long, and Mama's five children and his seven children got off to a rocky start. Here, the blended family has adjusted rather happily to their living arrangement-until Mr. Long buys a new motorcar and commences to teach the boys how to drive it. His comments on the need for men to learn to drive are met with disgust and dismay by the females in the family. After watching him demonstrate how to start the Model T, Mama sprints into the car, jumps behind the wheel, followed by young Mandy Searcy, and takes off, backward, across the yard. Pets and family members scatter as she finally figures out how to move forward. With the vehicle safely home, Mr. Long concedes, "I guess...this Model T belongs to all of us." This is a wonderful example of a perfect wedding between pictures and text. Rand's gentle watercolors convey a wide range of emotions both in body language and facial expressions, from disdain and disappointment on the faces of the girls, to exuberance and excitement on the boys' faces. Mama and Me will be a surefire hit with the read-aloud crowd.
