Almost Grown Up... Clarissa and Gregory

About this book

The last book in this charming series of real life time-capsule stories, based on the childhood memories of Clarissa Nadine Townsend and her brother, Paul Gregory Townsend. They grew up in rural America during the post-depression era, just before the Second World War. War clouds are looming over America, and Clarissa is getting ready for junior high school. Join her as she learns about raising chickens and growing crops for profit, and what it was like to have everyday items like sugar and shoes rationed, as the United States hunkered down for war. Children will marvel at these stories that capture the essence of growing up in bygone days, long before cell phones and television! Clarissa & Gregory books are part of the publisher's "Children's Books for Grandparents" series featuring brand new stories, traditionally told in classically styled books that will capture the imagination and the heart. They are specially designed and printed for grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, even big brothers and sisters, to read to small children.
