"* ""Grandparents especially will be charmed by this relaxed account of how a child's visit occasions everyday magic.""--Publishers Weekly * ""Juster adopts the voice of the child, whose present-tense narration is just right.... Raschka's mixed-media illustrations are characteristically loose and energetic, depicting this happy, biracial family with jewel tones and extravagant swirls.""--Kirkus reviews * ""Perfect for lap-sharing, this book will find favor with children and adults alike.""--School Library Journal * ""Two well-known names come together in a book that speaks to the real lives of children and their experiences.""--Booklist"
