(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Anita Lobel. Geras's captivating collection has been exuberantly illustrated by Anita Lobel. Things in Grandmother's apartment prompt her to recount wondrous stories (i.e., cutting up apples for strudel leads to "Bavsi's Feast," about a man who learns the true meaning of hunger). The stories are clever and wise; the relationship between the young narrator and her grandmother is deep and affectionate.
