The Just-Right, Perfect Present

Grandpapa Philp believes that family is all the entertainment he needs. So at the Philp family reunion, he sets up a bit of healthy competition: Which grandchild will memorize and recite a poem for Grandmama at their Golden Anniversary party? Cousin John takes winning for granted, but Donna Delle has a secret weapon in her sisters and brother.

Once again, Kennedy and Aldridge welcome readers into the Philp family album through an author's note and archival photos.
