Justin begins to learn what makes him and the members of his family special, as his grandfather teaches him about his family history, including a family recipe: biscuits in a skillet Grandpa lives on a ranch in the midwest, which is Justin's favorite place in the world. Grandpa swoops in and teaches him lessons of family history, work ethic, and manhood. He thinks cleaning and cooking is "women's work", and insists that this is why he is no good at it. Justin is the only male in his household, and often feels he cannot do anything right- especially clean his room or cook. Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World, by Mildred Pitts Walter, is an endearing tale about ten-year old Justin and the lessons he learns from time spent with his favorite guy- Grandpa.
