The cat family from A Present for Mom returns in a warm intergenerational story. Grandpa tries to play soccer, skip rope, and jump with Stanley's older siblings. Neither Stanley nor Grandpa is any good at these activities, but Stanley finds he is very good at taking care of tired Grandpa. The expressive cats are appealing, and the varied page layouts add interest.
