What a lovely book!  This Swedish classic follows Berra, a little boy who doesn't have a grandfather.  His friend suggests they find him one at the old folks' home, and that's how they meet Grandpa Ned.  They form a beautiful, touching intergenerational friendship full of hilarious hijinks and lots of love.  Can You Whistle, Johanna? goes to show that sometimes, family is chosen.
