The book's dimensions are 10.5 x 0.5 x 11.4 inches. The illustrations by Raschka are "at once lively and energetic, without crowding the story or the words on the page the simple lines and squiggles of color suggest a child's own drawings, but this is the art of a masterful hand." The story, written by Norton Juster, is told in present tense from a little girl's point of view (first-person narrative) while she is visiting her grandparents' (Nanna & Poppy) big house in the middle of town. Raschka won the 2006 Caldecott Medal for his illustrations. Published in 2005, the book tells the story of a little girl who enjoys visiting her grandparents.
