What Do Parents Do When You're Not Home?

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Cyd Moore. A boy imagines what his parents do (jump on the bed, play ball in the house) while he and his sister are spending the night with their grandparents. The clever premise is well executed: watercolor and pencil illustrations of Mom and Dad acting like kids are paired with smaller vignettes of the more decorous goings-on at Grandma and Granddad's house.
