About the Author:

Pamela Mayer lives near San Francisco, California. John Nez lives in Seattle,Washington.

From Booklist:

PreS-K. Becky is home from kindergarten with a cold. While her parents are at work, she is taken care of by her grandmothers. And oh, what care they take. On the first day, Grandma Sophie comes over with orange juice and chicken soup. The next day, Grandma Rosalie brings hot tea with lemon and rice pudding. The trouble starts on the day they come over together. The tussling begins with plumping the pillows and tucking in the blanket, and then moves on to an argument about which is better--tea or soup. Before long it's up to Becky to play teacher to two grandmothers, very different in looks and attitude, who are clearly acting as though they are the ones in kindergarten. This is played for laughs, and there are plenty. Both the cartoon-style art and the text reflect a reality (here exaggerated)--children can be caught in the middle and must sometimes arbitrate adult behavior. Happily, trumping all is the message that there is enough love to go around. Ilene Cooper
