About the Author:
Helen E. Buckley, author of Grandfather and I, Grandmother and I, and Where Did Josie Go?, lives in Bradenton, Florida, and Pulaski, New York.
From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-K-Rejoice! Buckley's classic tales are back in print with an updated look that is sure to send grandparents of the '90s scurrying to their local bookstores or libraries. Gone is the white bread look of Paul Galdone's beloved but dated illustrations. Instead, Ormerod's full-color paintings teem with the warmth of a loving intergenerational family and fairly burst from the pages. Her fine pencil-and-watercolor illustrations capture the calm and giving nature of these grandparents and reveal what is special about their relationships with their grandchildren. Ormerod is equally successful when picturing the busy details of life in these African-American families. Siblings gladly read to a young sister and hurrying parents rush off with a hug and a smile (no parental frowns in this family). Buckley's original stories stand the test of time beautifully and remain basically intact. In Grandfather and I, a young boy relishes the time that he and his grandfather share exploring the world around them while others hurry to their appointed tasks, and a preschool girl enjoys the warm comfort of her grandmother's lap and rocking chair in Grandmother and I. Two rejuvenated stories that are tailor-made for cozy reading.
