Illustrated by
Kathryn Brown.
"Grandpa loves / bare feet and bagels. / Coffee with cream. / Flipping the pancakes / and mornings / with me." A series of first-person rhymes describe activities that several young pigs enjoy with their loving grandpa. There's not a soppy moment in Dotlich's spare, specific text, and Brown likewise takes an unsentimental approach to documenting the loving grandfather-grandchild bond.
