In a somewhat rambling story, Nathaniel's spry one-hundred-year-old great-grandfather becomes discouraged when he can't find any fellow centenarians with whom he can swap stories. Nathaniel, of course, comes up with a plan to restore Greatpaw's spirits. Sepia-toned watercolors help differentiate Greatpaw's stories of the past from action in the present, which is rendered in bright hues.
