Reading: ABBOTT AND BARLEY: A PERFECT PLACE - Silvia Vecchini (writer), Sualzo (illustrator)

On a routine day fishing, Abbott realizes his son Barley is a bit bored and wanting to do something special. Anxious to give his son a unique day with his dad, Abbott comes up with a few unique ideas for fun things to do ... all of which seem to have already been done by Barley's friends. Finally going all out to give his son a one of a kind, out-of-this-world experience, it's actually Abbott who - in the end - is schooled by his son on where the best place is for them to be. A sweet father/son story every dad should read to his little boy, with simple, refreshing, beautiful illustrations by artist Sualzo that only add to the heart of the story. 5/5 stars

NOTE: I received a free ARC of this title from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
