DESCRIPTION:
But their plans don't always turn out the way they think! Join Tomie dePaola's beloved and classic characters as they learn that it doesn't matter how those carefree days are spent -- as long as you're with your friends!. What could be more fun than sunny days with your friends? The weather is getting warm and Mister Frog, Mistress Pig, Missy Cat, and Master Dog are looking forward to pleasant days spent in the park, rowing, and tending to their gardens
While strolling through the park on a sunny day, they decide to take a rowboat out on the lake. The pictures convey very little action as nearly all of them are group portraits of the animals with sweetly winning expressions on their faces, but the measured pace is appropriate for beginning readers. In gentle, easy-to-read language, dePaola introduces four friends-Master Dog, Missy Cat, Mistress Pig, and Mister Frog-all colorfully dressed in Victorian garb. Missy Cat is the only one willing to try boating again, so the friends agree to do something they all enjoy, and each one plants a garden.

And the living is easy E. R. Bird It's the most George Marshallish Tomie de Paola story I've ever read. On perusing it, the reader would almost think Mr. de Paola stole Mr. Marshall's sketch book to concoct it. Filling his tale with an assortment of well dressed animals, author/illustrator Tomie de Paola makes a quick departure from his usual picture book fare. Originally published in the book, "Four Stories for Four Seasons", this is a light hearted look at summer and the pleasures that come with having good friends for compan
