As summer draws to a close, 10-year-old Aldo Zelnick travels to the
Anderson farm in Minnesota for a family vacation. Aldo's mom is
eager for him to experience her favorite childhood pastimes such as
shucking sweet corn, milking cows, gathering eggs--and best of
all--enjoying fresh air and living off the land. But Aldo suspects
that farm life isn't all it's cracked up to be, and his worst fears
are confirmed. The rooster wakes him at dawn, the chores exhaust
him, and the cousins--identical twin pranksters--are in cahoots
against him. Even the creepy old portrait of his great-grandfather
seems to be watching these shenanigans from the frame on the wall.
Aldo must endure all this without the consolation of TV or
computers, because the farm is (gasp ) technology free. The
humorous plot turns and lively drawings in this book will captivate
both enthusiastic and reluctant young readers. This third
installment in an A-to-Z alphabet series features a
vocabulary-building glossary of cool words starting with the letter
C, including conniption, charisma, and cattywampus.
