From Booklist:

Gr. 2-4. Fans of this sweet Cobble Street Cousins series may recall the first book, In Aunt Lucy's Kitchen (1999), in which Rosie, Lily, and Tess meet Michael Livingston, a young man who has a secret crush on their Aunt Lucy. Now, a year and five books later, Michael is about to become their uncle. The 10-year-old cousins (Rosie and Lily are actually sisters, not cousins; Tess is their cousin) are to be bridesmaids, and they have been asked to help plan the wedding because, as Aunt Lucy puts it, they are "best at making things fun." That's what makes the "cousins" so appealing; they are curious and creative, and they find great joy in everything they do. Artsy girls who are ready for chapter books will love the children's short, lighthearted adventures and want to follow the series into the middle grades. Halperin's illustrations, not available for review here, will more than likely be similar to those in the previous books: lovely pencil drawings with exquisite detail. Lauren Peterson
