Customer Reviews

Beautiful pictures, beautiful words.

Grandfather Buffalo is another excellent production by Jim Arnosky. This one nudges its way to very near the top of the list of favorites. The illustrations are so beautiful and the words of the story are a perfect match for the mood of the book. We have used it as a memorial book in our public library for a recently deceased well- known Grandfather in our community. It is just right, and the family agreed. High praise for Grandfather Buffalo and for Jim Arnosky.

A wonderful story for grandkids and grandparents to share

Grandfather Buffalo by Jim Arnosky tells of an old bull who leads his herd but is becoming fragile and slow with old age. Still, he watches over his herd even when a lively new calf puts him to many tests. The calf learns quickly; and one of the most important lessons is that even though grandfather buffalo is slowing down - he's still the most important in the herd. A wonderful story for grandkids and grandparents to share.

Great book to read to Grandchildren!
