Product Description
Grandpa is every child's wish come true. His 3 young grandchildren follow him into his attic which is overflowing with memories from his days as a song and dance man. Grandpa unearths his tap shoes, his bowler hat and gold-tipped cane. The kids try them on and pretend they are on a stage but then it's Grandpa's turn to dance. and he proves the well-worn adage that you're only as old as you feel. He taps out a variety of steps, sings, plays the banjo, performs magic tricks, tells jokes, and gets the children laughing so hard they all get hiccups. Told from the children's point of view, the text is understated and charming, with a true admiration for the older generation.
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.
