An action-packed, humorous book for 4 yrs and up

Mrs. Oberon is not, by her actions, an ordinary grandmother. When her son, Scrimshaw, calls her in distress because his son Sweeny is teething, there's only one thing that could help: A cock-a-hoop honey cake! In order to deliver the cake, Mrs. Oberon must navigate the Riff-Raff rapids, the Swagwallow Swamp and then take to the air in her Piper Cherokee. She accomplishes her mission, and all are happy once again.. The overwhelming message this book communicates is a grandmother's strong love. My son just loves this book! It's the kind of book you can feel good about reading to your child!
