One Morning in Maine (Picture Puffin)
by Robert McCloskey
Many of Robert McCloskey's books are set in Bucks Harbor. The little town – where Mr. Condon's garage still stands – is a short walk from Bucks Harbor Marine. The '03 Cruise itinerary has the fleet passing quite near so this could be a fun lunch stop for kids who know the books well.
