Illustrated by
Michele Coxon.
In a sentimental but informative story that honors intergenerational relationships, Janet and her "slowpoke" grandmother take a leisurely walk in the woods, making frequent stops for Grandma to observe cardinals, ants, and other woodland animals. The tables turn when Janet wants to wait to see the elusive muskrat. Detailed illustrations imbue the lush greenery and active animals with more life than the static human characters.
