Amy's Three Best Things — Philippa Pearce

In a tale both comforting and magical, a child finds a way to calm her worries during a first visit away from home.

Amy may never have spent a night away from home, but today she declares that she wants to spend not one but three nights at her grandma's house. So she packs a bag, and off she goes. During the day, she and Grandma have a lovely time, but when Amy is alone in bed she starts to miss her mother and her baby brother and their dog, Bonzo. Luckily Amy has brought her three best things for a visit, which offer a heartening taste of home -- in the most remarkable ways! From the stellar creative pair of Philippa Pearce and Helen Craig comes a wonderfully reassuring bedtime tale.
