      • content: A sleepover with grandparents is a wondrous event. Juster centers the myriad of activities around one special place, the hello and goodbye window, the window where the story's protagonist first sees her grandparents when she arrives and last waves to them as she departs. Stina Nielsen is an unobtrusive narrator. She relates the story in a quiet manner so that each anecdote and the engaging illustrations (Caldecott Medal 2006) take center stage. Whether it is Poppy's special breakfast, the canopy of stars, the fierce creature in the backyard, or the silly faces everyone makes, the bond between grandchild and grandparents is paramount. A.R.

        Starred review from February 21, 2005
        Juster (The Phantom Tollbooth
        ) crafts a cozy portrait of a grandchild and her grandparents in this endearing book, illustrated in paintbox colors by Raschka (Be Boy Buzz
        ). A curly haired girl—who dances with wiggly energy in Raschka's lush paintings—describes playful visits to her Nanna and Poppy, whose kitchen window provides the perfect venue to say hello and goodbye. "You can climb up on the flower barrel and tap," she says, "then duck down and they won't know who did it." Her grandparents welcome her into a sunlit, spacious kitchen filled with plants, where she doodles and listens to Poppy play "Oh, Susannah" on the harmonica. At night, the "Hello, Goodbye Window" functions as a mirror, and the girl jokes about being outside looking in: "Poppy says, 'What are you doing out there? You come right in and have your dinner.' And I say, 'But I'm here with you, Poppy,' and then he looks at me in his funny way." Juster departs from the over-the-top punning of his earlier works to create a gently humorous account of a family's conversations and games, all centered on the special window. Raschka warms the pages with glowing yellow, emerald, sapphire and golden brown, and he pictures the garden and trees in emphatic midsummer greens. The characters smile at one another with a doting twinkle in their eyes, and grandparents especially will be charmed by this relaxed account of how a child's visit occasions everyday magic. Ages 2-up.
