It's summer break! However, me and my little brother do the same things everyday: swim at school, play video games at home, and drink tea....how boring! One day, our uncle wrote us a letter asking us to spend our summer in the countryside at Grandma's house. Our summer was finally about to begin! Although Grandma's house is next to the ocean, there are a lot of trees and rivers. We made so many friends, and together we catch bugs, climb trees, tread mud - all sorts of things we have never done before. Uncle even took us to the water to swim and fish. I never want to leave Grandma's house! Not only have me and my brother gotten incredibly tan from the sun, we have also grown more independent, courageous, and gregarious.
Combined with intricate illustrations, this book vivdly depicts the children's excitement, exhaustion, and surprise during their fun summer, allowing readers to experience the magic of the summer sun right along with them!
