Mrs. Winkler's Cure - Julia Holly - Bog

"Mrs. Winkler's telescope looks not into the night sky, but instead into the hearts of men and women." Humorous adventures with spiritual lessons. Brilliantly illustrated with beautiful classic style fine-line black and white drawings, reminiscent of Wind in the Willows. Twelve stories, nothing scary--very lovely and imaginative. Stories revolve around Mrs. Winkler's amazing candy shop and bakery, with her observatory upstairs called "The Contemplatorium". Several adventures involve a flying ice-cream truck. Two children, Annie and Arthur, are her constant companions, and she has many unusual friends. Suitable for ages 7-14. Adults love it!!! Excellent for reading aloud.
