Customer Reviews

Grandpa Book

I love the book; it's a great follow up to Billy Crystal's other book. Can't wait for my little grandson to be old enough to enjoy it. Sweet thoughts & lovely pictures. It truly comes from the heart. It is well worth buying.

A Very "Happy" Book - Through the Eyes of Children

Few events capture the interest of children as much as birthday parties. The author celebrates this special event with beautiful illustrations that capture the interest of the reader (both child and adult) with the same energy that is portrayed in Norman Rockwell's art--important family events and milestones. My grandaughter laughs out loud looking at the funny illustrations portrayed in the book, e.g., both grandad and grandchild kissing the mirror as if it was another world. The author excels in portraying the funny things grandads and daddies do to make children laugh. My small grandchildren LOVE rhyming verses. For example, my 2-year-old memorizes short stories, and then reads the book back to me. She is so excited and proud that she can do this. Although teachers may not consider this true reading, I feel it increases a child's self esteem. When choosing a book, I consider what the child would like first and make that my priority. The captivating action-packed illustrations, and rhyming verses make this book nothing short of a treasure.

Happy Father's Day

I bought this book for my father for Father's Day this year. He is a new grandpa to a baby boy, and even though the book is about a grandpa and his GRANDDAUGHTER, he loved it just the same. The illustrations make the book! They are wonderful. The expressions on the characters faces are perfect (just the face we all make when we have to change a stinky diaper). My dad thought this was a wonderful present to mark his first Grandfather's Day!

very nice

This is a cute book for the wee ones. I enjoyed the illustrations much more than the book's story, however, it seemed to keep the attention of my grandson. It made him laugh at times. And my nose isn't that big. Fun story all in all. Worth getting.

Very impressive :-)

I've always been a fan of Billy Crystal and I've read a few of his other kids books and enjoyed them, so I knew I'd love this too. It makes a fantastic gift for someone or just to have as an extra book for your child. My friends daughter has this and so I've read their copy admittedly. It's 32 pages and it's understandable for the kids. It's all about the childs first year; first piece of cake, first time in a swimming pool etc. The illustrations are excellent (there is a hillarious picture of the Grandfather changing the diapers). Basically, this is another great book from the very funny Billy Crystal and it's so cute, that any child is bound to love it, and any Grandpa is bound to love reading it to his little one. I highly recommend it.
