The Crazy Old Maid: And How She Became Known as Flora - The Quite Sane, Age Defying, Domestic Goddess - Hardcover

by Colleen McCarthy-Evans (Author), Janneke Ipenburg (Illustrator)

From the first page in the story:

"In the little town of Singletary, everyone agrees about one thing: No house needs more than ONE of ANYTHING in it.

With one lamp, families huddle around a good book at night.

With one book, neighbors share.

With one cooking pot, meals are simple!

With one ball, everyone is included in the game."

Get to know the colorful characters, beautifully illustrated, in this quirky make-believe village, and see how while they get a lot of things right, they still have a few things to learn from each other.

Themes of community and mutual respect add to the sweetness of enjoying the simple pleasures life in Singletary has to offer.

And there's a special bonus! A "Cut & Play" card game is available at the back of the book!

For ages 4+.
