Grandfather's favorite day of the week is Sunday when his grandchildren come to visit. He feels he is just an average, simple old man, but his grandchildren act like he is the greatest!  He helps them draw, tell stories, play games, sing songs, and eat homemade sandwiches, but he knows he isn't the greatest at any of these things.  Should he explain to them that he is just a regular average old man?


I love Hiranandani's message that what is greatest is the love that is reflected back to people who love each other.  I enjoyed Stamper's delightful illustrations. This book depicts a Jewish family
