The Hello, Goodbye Window by Norton Juster, illustrated by Chris Raschka
2006 Caldecott Medal
Sourpuss and Sweetie Pie by Norton Juster, illustrated by Chris Raschka
Both of these books feature a girl and her visits to her Grandpa and Nanna. The Hello, Goodbye Window got the award, but at our house we LOVE Sourpuss and Sweetie Pie even more! Sourpuss and Sweetie pie discusses the very relevant topic of rapid mood changes in young people! My seven year old daughter has asked us to read it multiple times each day for the past couple of weeks!
Both feature these wonderful loose colorful illustrations by Chris Raschka. And a really fun connected loving relationship between the grandparents and kid. There is humor and wisdom which is a combination I favor. I'd recommend both books, but especially Sourpuss and Sweetie Pie!
