Will he imitate her whispery voice? What will he do if Grandma Rosie suddenly wants to dance?\u003c\/i\u003e To his surprise, and relief, David learns that although Ruben may be a joker, he has an instant rapport with Grandma Rosie and accepts her odd behavior. In fact, when Grandma Rosie calls out, \"Nate, let's waltz!\" Ruben gallantly and proudly dances around the kitchen with her. This heartwarming story of senility and school-age embarrassment reveals the importance of looking beneath the surface to really get to know someone. By accepting Grandma with all of her quirks, Ruben shows that he has a warm heart and can be a true friend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flashlight Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780972922555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.88h x 8.66w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Canyon Reader Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlotte Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgia Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2005 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 47 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e102804 \/ Getting to Know Ruben Plotnick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Roz Rosenbluth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51843996221621,"sku":"9780972922555","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5e43a66a-7fbf-4e2a-9ea6-2ded80e551b6.jpg?v=1759848660","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/getting-to-know-ruben-plotnick-9780972922555","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
