My Friend Grandpa
Harriet Zeifert, author. Robert Wurzburg, illustrator. Published by Blue Apple Books & distributed by Chronicle Books
"Wurzburg's delicate watercolors, rendered in muted greens and browns, are never showy in their observations power, yet they deftly plumb the emotional depths of the spare text. Sprightly soupcons of cartooning keep the mood light: Grandpa's tractor headlights resemble eyeballs, while the chicken trio functions as a wattled, slightly addle-brained and always giggle-worthy Greek chorus." -Publisher's Weekly
