Grandaddy's Stars
by: Griffith/James Stevenson, Helen V.

Hardcover. NY, Greenwillow, 1st, 1995, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket.Color illustrations by James Stevenson. Janetta's Grandaddy lives on a farm with chickens and a mule, and when he comes to visit her in Baltimore, Janetta is worried that he'll find the city boring. Griffith's narrative is neatly paired with Stevenson's gently humorous, altogether winning watercolor-and-black-pen illustrations, which alternately depict the urban setting and the beloved, rustic home Grandaddy invokes frequently in his conversations with Janetta.
