Now, I confess that I barely remember the story - but I DO remember that one thing I absolutely loved about that book was the cover.
Thanks to the miracle that is eBay, I nabbed a copy and every time I see the cover, I feel like I'm ten again.
I just love those little pink cottages and the flamingos and that family.
Now look at this nasty old cover. Eeeyew. What the heck are those kids doing, anyway? Wrestling alligators, I think. Why'd they have to go and ruin it for me....?

Wait -- she wrote Caddie Woodlawn, too, right? I'll be danged.
Right! (Which I've never read, by the way!)
You just brought back a boatload of memories for me, too! I adored that book (thankfully they copy I read had the CUTE cover) when I was, yes, probably about 10.
