Description
From the Dust Jacket
Annie sits on the front steps waiting for Papa to come home from work. “There’s absolutely nothing to do,” she complains. Her mother suggests that she take a little walk “once around the block” to make the time go faster. Along the way a warm world of friendly neighbors greets Annie. Before she knows it she’s back home, and sitting on the steps waiting for her is Papa.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, tightly sandwich it between pieces of cardboard, then wrap in brown paper to send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
