Our Backyard Neighbors
Written on the inside cover:
Dear Jack,Books are like good friends - you can always count on them for satisfaction and pleasure - any time. They are especially valuable if you can associate them with some person or experience.
So on you ninth birthday you have a fresh impression of the visit in the Pelletts' home in Hamilton with Dad and Bucket; and whenever you pick up this book in years to come you may recall the Summer we "batched" together.Affectionately,
Dad
