K-3Ready-to-Read: Annie and Snowball series.
Illustrated by
Suçie Stevenson.
Annie and her bunny Snowball stay overnight with Annie's grandmother, who lives by the sea. The "girls" enjoy their routine: baking cookies, playing tic-tac-toe, watching their favorite sad movie, settling Grandmother's budgie for the night, etc. Morning comes, and they can't wait for the next visit. There's no tension, but the sunny pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations reflect the joy and warmth between generations.
