Book Synopsis

In a rainbow-colored station wagon that smelled like a real car, the relatives came. When they arrived, they hugged and hugged from the kitchen to the front room. All summer they tended the garden and ate up all the strawberries and melons. They plucked banjos and strummed guitars. When they finally had to leave, they were sad, but not for long. They all knew they would be together next summer.

The book has been a favorite among elementary students for years, and this literature unit is a great way to integrate it into your lesson plan! Click here to purchase it now from our Teachers Pay Teachers store!
