"My favorite person in the world is coming for a visit. . . . We love hot chocolate, with as many marshmallows as we want!" Grandfather and grandson share the same likes (peanut butter) and dislikes (dress-up clothes). A pleasant surprise on the final page reveals that it's the grandfather who has been the book's enthusiastic narrator. The lighthearted artwork has a contemporary flair.
