Something Special for Ikey

About the Book

There was once a family that lived in New York City in a high-rise apartment building by the name Mr. John and Mrs. Mary Tailor. They had one son whose name is Ikey. Ikey was nine years old but would be ten soon in a matter of days. On the last day of school, just before school closed for the summer vacation, the Tailors received a long-distance phone call. It was from Mr. Tailor’s mother and father. They had called to ask if the Tailors would let their son Ikey come and spend part of his summer vacation with them on their farm. Mr. Tailor said to his father, “That sounds like a very good idea because Ikey has never been anywhere outside of New York City before. I’ll call you back later on and let you know the answer.” After the phone call was over, Mrs. Tailor said to Mr. Tailor, “We can discuss this with Ikey over dinner tonight.”
