Book details
I Love You, Grandpa
Description
Grandpa may not be good at football or skipping or jumping, but Stanley loves him best of all. Grandpa's supposed to be looking after Stanley, but after a while it's hard to tell who's looking after who! This is an enchanting follow-up to 'To Mum, With Love', which was shortlisted for the Children's Book Award. Stanley learns that he and Grandpa have a special connection in this heartwarming companion to A PRESENT FOR MOM. Grandpa has come to stay for the weekend, and Mom is off to work. Stanley's brothers and sisters want to play soccer or jump rope or bounce, but Grandpa and Stanley aren't too good at those games. What they do have a special talent for is snuggling, as they discover when Stanley sings Grandpa a song, and they both fall asleep. No wonder Stanley loves his grandpa the best of all!
