The Frank Show

(3) K-3 A boy laments that his fuddy-duddy grandfather, Frank, who "doesn't like noise...or gadgets and gizmos...or haircuts" is his show-and-tell guest. The best he thinks Frank can offer is that his "arm hurts when it's about to rain." Captivating line drawings, speckled with humorous, vintage details, capture the crotchety-Grandpa-turned-hero who dazzles the young crowd with courageous tales of bullets, bugles, and battlefields.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
