Item description for Special Gifts by Cynthia Rylant (1999,Hardcover, CHILDREN, Cobble Street Cousin)

Vintage EX LIBRARY illustrated hardcover with the usual library markings. Children's. Minimal wear to the cover and pages.

The bar code is for a paperback, but this is a hardcover - I suspect it is an after-market library binding of the original paperback, making it much sturdier than the original.

For ages 7-10, grades 2-5

This book is part of "The Cobble Street Couisins" series.

MEET THE COBBLE STREET COUSINS

Lily, who wants to be a poet.

Tess, who wants to be a Broadway star.

Rosie, who wants a little cottage with flowers by the door.

It's winter vacation and there's no school for three weeks, but the Cobble Street Cousins aren't worried about being bored. They're learning how to sew from their neighbor Mrs. White. And they're starting to keep a diary about their year living in the wonderful attic room in Aunt Lucy's little blue house. Best of all, there's a Winter Solstice party at Aunt Lucy's boyfriend Michael's apartment, with special presents for everyone.
