The fourth book in this charming series of real-life stories, is based on the childhood memories of Clarissa Nadine Townsend, who grew up with her brother, Paul Gregory Townsend, in rural America during the post-depression era. Join Clarissa as she sets off to sell sweet corn in her brother's brand new wagon, then gets stuck in a hut made of leaves and almost falls through the ice in a frozen swamp! Children will marvel at these stories that capture the essence of growing up in bygone days, before cell phones-and even before television! Clarissa even shows you how to build a snowman! Remember the way children's books used to be? Grandparents and other family members reading bedtime stories and looking at the pictures together? Now you can revisit those magical days with your youngsters, through Elm Grove Publishing's special series of "Children's Books for Grandparents." Brand new stories, traditionally told in classically styled books that will capture the imagination and the heart, specially designed and printed for grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, even big brothers and sisters, to read to small children.
