"When I Was Young in the Mountains" by Cynthia Rylant

RATING:  Thumb Sideways!

REVIEW:
     I wasn't to impressed by this book. The illustrations were simple and not captivating.  Cynthia Rylant tells about her life as a child in the mountains.  Her grandfather came home covered with coal mine dust.  Her grandmother made a country dinner.  She swam in a swimming hole.  She had church in a school house. It tells of time where life was simple.  Not very many of us have childhood memories like this. I found myself remembering of my childhood and appreciating the memories I have growing up.
