Great Grandma's Shed: Marcum Road Follies by Helen Nickolson

By Pamelascott

While driving her daughter Katherine to day-care about 28 years ago, Helen began telling her "dreams" about Old Red, the kind convertible with magical powers who lived next to them in the country. He also had some adopted buddies-a Dalmatian called Cutie Pie and a duck named Teepo. These stories were very comforting to Katherine, especially when she didn't want to be separated from her mother. Years later, she still would oftentimes ask her mother if she had had a "dream," so Helen began recording the adventures of Old Red. Now, these adventures are together in this heart-warming book.

This delightful book is exactly what I expected - sweet, fun and imaginative. The book contains a bunch of stories about the adventures of Old Red, Cutie Pie and Teepo. They are a lot of fun to read about. The stories are very imaginative and entertaining and I was sad when I reached the end of the book because I enjoyed the stories so much. This would be a great read-aloud book. I really enjoyed it and it made me all nostalgic.
