Hurry Down to Derry Fair

32 pp. | Candlewick | May, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3208-3 $16.99
(3) PS Illustrated by Gillian Tyler. Dinny Brown is impatient to get to the Derry Fair. Mommy, Daddy, and Sister Lucy are all busy with chores, so Grandma Patty finally sets off with Dinny. The rhyming, repetitive text makes a pleasing read-aloud. Softly colored illustrations provide a suitable homespun look; a double gatefold reveals a panorama of the fair and all its sensory pleasures.
