Review

Little Ree has always lived in the city, but when her grandparents' need help at their ranch, her parents decide to move to the country and help. Little Ree is very nervous and sad about the move, but she stays positive and upbeat about the adventure. Although Ree will miss her friends and the park right down the street, she makes note of the fact that living in the country is almost like living in a park! This positive upbeat story will help younger children try to look at all the positives of the differences between places they are moving to or that they live in. The illustrations are bright and vibrant just like Little Ree's personality! A recipe for pancakes is included in the back. It is important to note that the author, Ree Drummond, is also the author of the Charlie the Ranch Dog books and has a cooking show on the Food Network.

Overall Book Score: very good
