In this reissue of Tomie dePaolas charming 1983 classic Marianna May and Nursey, a family works together to make sure Marianna May can make the most of her summer.
Marianna Mays Nursey likes to dress her in white, which means Marianna May isnt allowed to roll in the grass, or make mud pies, or eat orange ice and strawberry ice cream, or paint pictures because her clothes could get messy. But Marianna May doesnt want to waste her summer staying clean on the porch.
Can she and her family figure out a way for her to have fun without worrying about her clothes
