GRANDADDY AND JANETTA TOGETHER: THE THREE STORIES IN ONE IN THANE

Grandaddy and Janetta are back, in this compilation of three much-loved books by Helen V. Griffith and James Stevenson. At first Janetta isn't so sure she wants to go with Momma to visit her grandfather in Georgia. His yard is nothing but red dirt and a brokendown shed, and there are unfriendly animals all around--noisy chickens, a mean-looking cat, and a mule! After a few tall tales and a lesson in "fish-talk," though, Janetta and Grandaddy are friends for life. All three of these stories--with their humorous, understated storytelling, expressive watercolors, and a healthy dose of the unbelievable--capture the warmth of a friendship that crosses generations. Whether you're a child or a grandparent, from the city or the country, Grandaddy and Janetta are sure to make you smile.
