The mercury is climbing in Lumberville, and the folks are doing everything
they can to keep cool. Officer McGinnis spends the day in a cold bath, Lottie
Mims does her housework in her bathing suit, and Abigail and Ralphie Blue sell
ice cubes. When the temperature refuses to relent, the entire community seeks
solace by the river--where everyone dreams of cool relief.
A cast of quirky characters and lots of playful details from two celebrated
picture-book talents make this heat wave look like fun!
