Grandpa Never Lies

32 pp. | Clarion | August, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-395-79770-5 $$15.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Harvey Stevenson. A girl enjoys spending time with her grandfather, who delights in spinning tall tales to explain things like frost, icicles, and dew. Their loving relationship is poetically drawn, but when the grandmother dies in the middle of the story, the episode is not adequately dealt with. Rich acrylic paintings in deep colors highlight the bond between grandfather and granddaughter.
