Bubbe & Zaide stars the grandparents of the Matzah Ball Books gang during a visit of their grandkids to their house. That day, true to their namesakes, Noshy Boy eats everything he gets his hands on, Shmutzy Girl makes a messy art project, Klutzy Boy clumsily breaks a window and Shluffy Girl sleeps any where and every where. But Bubbe and Zaide only see the good in their grandkids. Even Kvetchy Boy's complaints are seen as "observant," because "when you love someone, you look for the good."
