In a satisfying addition to the Gus and Grandpa series, the two wave at a passing train, search for Gus's father's train set, ride an old-fashioned steam engine, and try to keep track of Grandpa's dog. Gus and Grandpa may both be forgetful, but "Gus never forgot that he loved Grandpa." And vice versa. The pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations skillfully supply details of character and setting.
