Grandpa Loves
PreSchool-Grade 2&ndash;A wonderful and touching tribute to the love that grandparents have for their grandchildren. On each spread, an adorable young pig describes what he or she enjoys doing with Grandpa: "Grandpa loves/bare feet and bagels./Coffee with cream./Flipping the pancakes/and mornings/with me." The illustrations alternate between scenes that chronicle everyday activities, from camping to building a tree house, and snapshots of these special times arranged as if in a photo album. The facial expressions show just how much the family members enjoy being together. In the final picture, a smiling Grandpa shares a meal with all of the grandchildren featured on the previous pages. Painted in soft, warm colors, the artwork adds greatly to the feeling of love that pervades this book.&ndash;Sheilah Kosco, Rapides Parish Library, Alexandria, LACopyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
