"Then the old woman said, 'Ruthie, I have a cake and some cookies
baking in the oven. They may be almost done. I am getting old and
feeble. It hurts me to bend over. Would you kindly open the oven
door, lean in, and see if the cake and cookies are done?"
Ruthie opened the oven door and stuck her head way inside while
the woman stood behind her peering over her shoulder.
Grandpa was so frightened that he closed his eyes and covered
them with his hands. He could not bear to watch."
When six-year old Ruthie, embarked on an adventure with her
grandfather, she got more than she bargained for. Her grandfather,
magically transformed into a six-year old, is as stodgy as an old
man. Ruthie leads him into situations that seem familiar (like the
story of Jack and the Beanstalk and Hansel and Gretel). But the
familiar characters turn out to be much more interesting than they
appear in this wonderful world where thing are not always what they
seem to be. Along the way, both Ruthie and the little boy named
Grandpa learn some valuable lessons about trust and prejudice.
