(4) K-3 An inveterate traveler, Steven's aunt Carolyn sends him postcards from all the places she goes. Now Aunt Carolyn is returning to Grandma's for the annual block party. As a special gift for his favorite aunt, Steven fixes up an old toy train, decorating it with photos of the family. The slice-of-life story rambles on a bit too much, but the mixed-media collages are creative and depict a special relationship between aunt and nephew.
