1-32nd-Grade Friends series.
Illustrated by
Peter Catalanotto.
Emily's Pop-Pop is coming in to talk to her class about Veterans Day. She's worried, though, because he has narcolepsy, falling asleep at unexpected times. Frequent black-and-white illustrations keep readers involved and move the story to its brisk resolution. Emily's love for Pop-Pop is warm and respectful, and it's nice to meet her strongly individualized, opinionated grandfather.
