BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
13 different grandpas, celebrated by their grandchildren who not only tell us us what they are called, but the wonderful things that make them unique. Saba is a classy dresser, Babu knows about the stars, Koro is the best story teller, Nonno was a soccer star.
How much fun is this? Each grandpa gets a 2 page spread, and a poem - carefully composed to help the reader with pronunciation. I loved that the illustrations didn't depict the grandpas as elderly old people! They look, well, my age. Such a delight - learning what grandpas are called in all different cultures was great! Includes a glossary of sorts with connections to the Grandpa's region, language or culture.
