Is Grandpa Wearing a Suit?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jacky Gleich. Bruno, standing by his grandfather's casket, doesn't believe the man has left them: "He's lying right here!" By not answering Bruno's questions capably, his family reinforces his confusion in a way that's alternately funny, poignant, and tiresome. The striking scratchy-surfaced, somber-hued illustrations depict a child who is tiny compared with his family and surroundings--a reflection of his emotional isolation.
