Aunt Louise Comes to Visit by Katie Brewster
Katie Spivey Brewster’s whimsical poetry and Mary Barrow’s endearing illustrations tell the story of the regular visits of Katie’s great aunt and the Whitman's Sampler she always brought with her while Katie was a child in Wilmington, NC.
Aunt Louise visits twice a year, always dressed, in shoes, bag, and hat to match. And every time she visits, she brings the girls, a very special snack. But this time she has forgotten it, or to the girls, it so seems. They wonder if they’ll miss the pleasure, of eating the treats, of which they’ve dreamed. |
