Product Description
A beautifully nostalgic picture book about one grandfather's younger days that shows you're only as old as you feel!"In this affectionate story, three children follow their grandfather up to the attic, where he pulls out his old bowler hat, gold-tipped cane, and his tap shoes. Grandpa once danced on the vaudeville stage, and as he glides across the floor, the children can see what it was like to be a song and dance man. Gammell captures all the story's inherent joie de vivre with color pencil renderings that leap off the pages. Bespectacled, enthusiastic Grandpa clearly exudes the message that you're only as old as you feel, but the children respond--as will readers--to the nostalgia of the moment. Utterly original."--(starred) Booklist.
Customer Reviews
Loved this sweet story where Grandpa shows his grandchildren a bit of who he was in the “old days”. Too often, our children don’t care to hear about the stories of our incredible feats when we were younger but this story is testimony to the fact that young adventurous brave hotshots become the Grandpas of tomorrow. Never underestimate the talents and knowledge of those older than you- they were just as dazzling then as you consider yourself to be now in your youth.
