The Cobble Street Cousins #1 In Aunt Lucy's Kitchen by Cynthia Rylant illustrated by Wendy Anderson Halperin**

  I have read and loved several other of Cynthia Rylant's book series.  I cannot believe I have lived twenty-four years without reading this series.  The people, the setting and the ideas/adventures are whimisical and ideal-a wholesome delight.

Over summer break three cousins, who live with their Aunt Lucy while their parents tour the world performing ballet, decide to start a cookie business. When they fill and deliver their orders, they meet delightful individuals-Mrs. Haverstock and her brother Michael and Mrs. White. Why does Michael blush whenever Aunt Lucy is mentioned? The girls scheme a match-up!

Although these books are for transitional readers, they are well written and include apt word choice.

**Highly, highly recommend.  A six book series

Perfect for transitional readers.
