Folks in the Valley — Jim Aylesworth

"From the alarm clock that wakens this Pennsylvania Dutch family in the morning to the 'Z' sound of their peaceful sleep at night, this rhyming alphabet book celebrates their way of life as it follows them through the day. Whether used to introduce rural life, Pennsylvania Dutch folkways, or the alphabet, [it] should be read aloud for the warm glow it kindles in those who share it." -- BL.
