DANDELION WINE by Ray Bradbury
This book is broken up into a series of short, almost poetic stories called vignettes. The vignette that starts on page 68 is my favorite in the entire book because it's s humorous but at the same time still mantains the heavily description of the rest of the book. This part is about older lady named Mrs. Bentley and two little girls named Alice and Jane and a boy named Tom. She's telling them about how she used to be young and pretty just like them but they don't believe her and ultimately end up really hurting her feelings so she wanted to prove to the children that she once was young so she brings out her childhood treasures and they start to believe. The next day the two girls come back to her house and get to go through and take what they want of her "little girl's things".
