   Summary: Tea Party Theme
This is a fabulous little story for children & adults as well. I would recommend it without reservation. Miss Rumpius provides us a valuable lesson that I was pleased to be reminded of even at 65 y/o. My 3 y/o granddaughter & I will host a Mother's Day Tea that will include 4 generations & we are using the theme of Miss Rumphius for all to cherish.

   Summary: She was inspired and still is
My five year old daughter was just riveted when I read her this story. The second time (next day, at her request) she asked a couple of questions after each page. It is a story about adventure and making the world a better place by sharing stories and beauty. She has asked to have this story read many, many times. She loves it each time we read it. I admit this story even changed how I look at things. We love this book.

   Summary: LOVE IT!
I can't say enough about this book. It is so beautifully illustrated... definitely my favorite Barbara Cooney book. The story is so charming. You won't be disappointed!

   Summary: A book that will put a smile on your face!
" The Lupine Lady lives in a small house overlooking the sea."
This kind gentle hearted character has a strong spirit that lives on in everyone that reads this book.
Blue, purple, and rose-colored lupines grow in the illustrations of this story that covers a lifetime.
The Lupine Lady's grandfather is also a golden-hearted man and gives Mary (aka) The Lupine Lady three things to do in a lifetime. This story has a hint of a quest in it as the Lupine Lady try's to fulfill these three things that her grandfather has given her to do.
I recommend this book for all ages, and for people who like stories that put a smile on their faces.

   Summary: 5 Stars!
The book, Miss Rumphius, is one of my favorite books. I love the colorful illustrations and the touching story. This story is about a woman who is called Miss Rumphius by everyone she knows. Miss Rumphius travels the world with one mission- to find a place to live and make it beautiful. I believe that this story takes place somewhere in New England, specifically Maine, because of the sceneary in the illustrations. I recommend this story for kids between the ages of 5 to adults.
