I love these shorter stories! ( )

I did not like this book. I thought that it was very boring and plain. The illustrations used very bland colors and did not draw my attention to the book. The main plot of the story was the two girls excitement to go to town for the first time and then their overwhelming experiences while in town. There was no conflict or suspense in this story which left me unexcited to flip the pages and see what happens next. The main point to this story is to provide information about what it was like to live in the olden days without cars or technology. ( )
