Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K– Elderly Mr. Griggs works at the old post office and is very dedicated. He loves his work, and he thinks about it even after hours. When he gets the flu it’s almost unbearable to him that someone else is in his place. At his return, it’s a toss up as to who is more delighted, Mr. Griggs or his postal customers. Pastel and pencil drawings in full color bring this kindly neighbor to life. Mr. Griggs’ absorption in his work will irritate some adults and amuse others. (He can’t even pass a bluejay without thinking “express mail.”) His evident dedication is touching, however, and small readers will have fun sharing his vocation in these pages, which shine with the writer and the illustrator’s humor and admiration. –Anna Biagioni Hart, Sherwood Regional Library, Alexandria, Va.
