Illustrated by
M. Sarah Klise.
Larry Lamb finds his grandma's loud singing and secret handshakes "embarrassing." When a community catastrophe extends one of her visits, Grammy Lamby and Larry slowly develop a bond. That Grammy is at first overbearing toward Larry (seen in one illustration counting the days until she leaves) is never in doubt. And, in a final spread, neither is his true affection for her.
