I enjoyed this entry in the Devlins' Cranberryport series, which chronicles the adventures of Maggie, Mr. Whiskers and Grandmother in their small New England town by the side of a cranberry bog. As always, Mr. Whisker's exclamations of "Suffering Codfish!" were amusing, as was Grandmother's disapproval. The artwork, done in watercolor and ink, is colorful and expressive, although I think my favorite scenes, from a visual perspective, were the simpler nighttime ones which showed our characters in black silhouette, against a deep blue background. Like its predecessors, Cranberry Summer included a cranberry recipe at the rear - Cranberry Punch, perfect for the 4th of July! - which was a nice touch. Recommended to fans of the Devlins' Cranberryport books, and to picture-book readers looking for lighthearted stories set at the 4th of July, or featuring donkeys. ( )
