Clouds for Dinner

Lynne Rae Perkins's first book, Home Lovely, was hailed by Kirkus as [a] book to read, share, and treasure. Now the gifted author-artist tells the story of Janet, who lives in a house on top of a big hill. Her parents think it's like living in the clouds. But Janet thinks living in a more sensible house like Aunt Peppy and Uncle Tim's might be better--a house where beds are always made and dishes always washed. Janet spends the weekend with Aunt Peppy and Uncle Tim, but one morning she sees something magical and needs to share it with the people who understand magic best--her parents. Her story will have young readers on the lookout for the extraordinary in their everyday world, too.
