Walker My Grandpa Is Amazing

The grandpa in this book is truly brilliant. He builds fantastic sandcastles, he makes wonderful flower arrangements, and he's very, very, very patient. He's got an amazing bike, he's a terrific dancer and he knows all about first aid ...in fact there's very little this astounding grandpa can't do. The book ends, "It's great to have a grandpa like mine. He's amazing!" And no one can argue with that! Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-K-- A fun-filled, happy picture book that would fit in well with any preschool or playgroup storytime. Butterworth's pictures show a versatile grandpa that anyone would love to have. His skills range from riding a motorcycle, building fantastic sand castles, and driving amusement park bumper cars to flower arranging. He even lets his two grandchildren have hose fights in the summer. Distinct pictures with lots of white space surrounding them make this a nice addition to a Father's Day or Grandparent's Day program. --Janet M.
