In this funny and heartwarming picture book, a grandfather shows his
love and appreciation for a grandmother as he persuades her to attend a
local dance with him*.*
"Fun and feisty--these memorable characters are a delight to know and
revisit."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Grandfather is tending his garden when a loudspeaker announces a dance
in the local park. He asks Grandmother to join him, but she has many
reasons to delay their outing: she needs to put eyeliner around her
eyes--which are as sad as a moonless night--and color in her hair--which
is as gray as an autumn cloud. Grandfather counters with loving
arguments of his own: her sad eyes look like stars and her hair is as
perfect and white as a summer cloud.
Playful illustrations complement this touching banter, which culminates
in a trip to the dance where Grandmother tells Grandfather, "You are as
pretty as the moon."
