The Relatives Came

The Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant is a book about relationships among extended family members. I enjoyed the illustrations of this book immensely. I thought they were witty and entertaining. This is a great picture book for students to make connections due through schema's. The story is the perfect length. It is long enough, but not to long where the reader or listeners would lose interest in the story. I would use this book to work on schema's in my classroom.
