Illustrated by
Dyanne DiSalvo.
When Grandma loses her smile, the only one capable of finding it is her six-and-three-quarters-year-old grandson, so he obliges by flying down to visit. Like the narration, which sounds nothing like a child's voice, the text, with its lampooning of air-travel woes, seems aimed squarely at grandparents. Nicely rendered illustrations capture the warmth of the characters' relationships.
