Grandpa Loved Hardcover – Picture Book, September 1, 2000

Like "Grandm'as Scrapbook," this was a decent story but nothing memorable.

We loved the other books by this author, and the one similar to this about the grandmother, but this was boring with boring illustrations. My kids stopped listening after a few pages.

This is a beautiful book. I am a teacher and it was dedicated to our school library in my grandfather's name. He passed away a month and a half ago. Very special to me.

Through his impressive example, Grandpa teaches an older boy how to love the beach as they feel the water and smell the sea air. Indeed, Grandpa loved the wind, the woods, the city, the people, the animals and all things that inhabit those spaces. With his grandpa, the boy learns to listen, to feel, and to love his world, too.Featuring the distinctive, water colors of illustrator Maureen Hyde,GRANDPA LOVED will touch the hearts of the young, and the young at heart. The spectacular illustrations reveal the illustrator's impressive technique with surprising detail and realism, seeming to glow on the page as they accompany the simple message of love and memory. With a creative appeal to the senses and to the heart, author Josephine Nobisso shows how the love of grandpa lives in the lessons he shared. Simple yet wise, GRANDPA LOVED is destined to become a classic. Very highly recommended.
