(3) K-3 Translated by Kathryn Bishop. The narrator's grandparents decide to separate, complaining that they're "just so different" ("...her favorite color is blue. / ...his favorite color is red"). However, it soon becomes apparent that they miss each other, so the narrator hatches a plan to reunite them. The textured illustrations and eye-catching décor in the grandparents' apartments cleverly reflect their changing moods.
