Ivy Takes Care

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Jim LaMarche. In the summer of 1949 in western Nevada, thoughtful fifth grader Ivy starts a pet care business. Ivy's three clients and their animals broaden her world and her relationship with others in remarkable ways. The vividly evoked rural setting tends to overshadow the book's historical period, but the moving story, told from a third-person limited perspective, brings the characters to life.
