In this sentimental companion to Grandma Loves You!, a grandfather rabbit expresses his unconditional pride in, love for, and devotion to a baby rabbit. Tender moments with the "cutie pah-tootie"--including kite-flying, joke-telling, and bedtime cuddling--bond the pair. Treacly rhymes, pastoral illustrations, and an appended space for a letter and picture from grandfather to child perfectly suit the intended audience: gift-givers.

In lilting verse, a rabbit grandmother shares how much she loves her grandchild. "The moment I saw you, / I fell in love. / Honey, my bunny, / my sweet turtledove." Soft watercolor illustrations place the rabbit family in an idyllic pastoral setting befitting this sentimental rhyming ode. Space for a picture and letter from a (human) grandmother is included.

Tales of Young Americans series.
Illustrated by
Wilson Ong.
Twelve-year-old Chinese orphan Lee travels to America alone in 1926. Kept on Angel Island Immigration Station, he must "prove," with his detailed answers (learned from a coaching book) to a grueling interrogator, that he is the "son" of a legal American resident. This pat story of an immigrant looking for a better life in America is illustrated with realistic if somewhat murky paintings.
