The relatives from Virginia packed their station wagon, left their vineyard, and drove a long way to visit family over the summer. When the relatives arrived, there was a lot of hugs, eating, catching up, and spending time together. After a few weeks, it was time for the relatives to go back home to Virginia. Read about the relatives’ summer trip to visit family in this wonderful children’s book!
I really liked the book, The Relatives Came. It is a good book about family, and some things families do when they get together. The book was full of warmth and joy. The detailed artwork is beautiful, using both cool and warm colors. This gives the illustrations a joyful mood. The illustrations dominate the pages, and portray the text very well. They give the feeling of the mood and tone of the story. Although the reader can understand the story without the illustrations, they help tell and add humor to the story. I like how the story starts on the title page, with pictures of all the luggage lined up until the first page of the story. The text and the story line were simple. Children can relate to this book if they have had family come to visit them at their house. This book teaches children to love their family and the time they are able to spend together. It also shows that distance should not keep a family apart. This book is sure to open up conversation about children’s relatives. The Relatives Came is a cute book that both children and adults will enjoy!
