Gus and Grandpa

by Claudia Mills

Book Overview

Gus and Grandpa make their debut in three lively and tender stories. In the first, Gus makes a mess while trying to feed Grandpa's dog, Skipper (Grandpa makes him clean it up). In the second, Grandpa loses his car at the mall (Gus finds it). In the third, Gus and Grandpa share a birthday party and exchange presents (Grandpa gives Gus a dog-food scoop for neater feedings, and Gus gives Grandpa a ball of yarn to help him keep track of the car). Claudia Mills's Gus and Grandpa, a pair whose enthusiasm and affection will captivate beginning readers, are brought to life by Catherine Stock in sparkling, sun-drenched pictures.

Customer Reviews

A wonderful multi generational story

Gus gets to spend wonderful days with his beloved grandpa. A very sweet series about a boy and his grandpa, and the time they spend together. More kids should have this experience with their own grandparents, which seems to be missing in this day and age. The story illustrates what fun it is to spend special time with older relatives.
