Storekeeper

It is not even dawn, but the amiable storekeeper-a plump, elderly woman wearing a bright red sweater over her blue checkered dress-is up to receive a supply of doughnuts from a deliveryman and to prepare for the busy day ahead. While imparting some information about a storekeeper's tasks, the book captures the essentially social aspects of the general store environment. This has all the appeal of Pearson's other exuberant works, but provides a contrast to the breakneck rhythms she usually conveys. The storekeeper's day unwinds slowly, and the pace is welcome and leisurely.Pearson, Tracey Campbell is the author of 'Storekeeper' with ISBN 9780803703704 and ISBN 0803703708.
