When Oma arrives for little Jake's birthday, his sister Lizzie and parents try to make the most of her visit. So they take a ride in the car, go to the beach, and then after their time together take her to the airport. In these everyday activities that we have all had, author Caroline Ripley discovers nearly one hundred questions about nature, animals, people, and places. The illustrations by Scott Ritchie provide a relaxed atmosphere for these everyday excursions. At the end of each chapter there is a summary page with snapshots and captions.
