Cul de Sac: This Exit by Richard Thompson

5.0

Jaden and I LOVE this book, and even Holling picked it up and snickered at the comics a few times. Thompson really nails the psychology of the 4-year-old. One fabulous example--the way that the only Alice remembers about the nature center is the nasty sand- and gum-filled water fountain, and it's the first thing she wants to see again when the class visits again. I am always amazed at the details that stick in Jaden's brain about the places we visit, and this was exactly something that would have happened in our house.
