While Grandpa Naps

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Junghwa Park. Before Gilbert's widowed grandfather begins his outdoor nap, he asks Gilbert to make sure the flies stay away; this means that Gilbert can't play with his also-visiting cousins ("Grandpa is counting on me"). Gilbert's narration is too mature for someone going into kindergarten, but this meditation on grandparent-grandchild devotion is touching, and the unpretentious art conveys a relaxed family vibe.
