The Cobble Street Cousins: A Little Shopping
Cynthia Rylant
Illustrated by Wendy Anderson Halperin
Early Reader - Series
Ages 7 to 9
Aladdin, 1998, 0-689-81708-6
Lily, always the cousin who has ideas popping up in her head, has come up with a real gem this time. The cousins are sometimes at a loose end in the afternoons and Lily thinks that the three girls need a project; they need something creative to do. What she comes up with is a plan to make a dollhouse or miniature of Aunt Lucy's flower shop.
Lily, Tess and Rosie have a terrific time finding all the materials that they need for the project and then an even better time building the miniature. The end result delights their aunt and it has given them an enormous amount of pleasure to make it.
Not only is this a charming story with lots of wonderful black and white illustrations, but it also is inspirational, proving the reader with lots of ideas of how they can make their own dollhouse or miniature. It is easy to see how one craft project can quickly grow into many more.

ACTION ALERT!
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) needs your help. The President's proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released in February eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. RIF serves 4.6 million children. Please click on the link below to visit the RIF Action Alert page so you can make your voice heard and support their efforts.
