Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Ike and Mem are spending the weekend with their grandparents on the farm. There are lots of fun things to do there, such as riding the ponies and eating gooseberry pie; but there are also many chores. Ike and Mem get upset about the work Grandmother and Grandfather ask them to do. They forget everyone must pitch in if they are to get along. This is a tender and poignant chapter book about mistakes and consequences, and the importance of forgiveness.

Synopsis:

When Ike and his little sister Mem spend the weekend at their grandparents' farm, they resent all the work they must do, until they realize that there is more to their visit than just doing chores, and that everyone must cooperate and pitch in if they are to get along.

Synopsis:

These siblings help out while visiting their grandparents' farm.
