Customer Reviews

A book for every grandpa

All of the books by Todd Parr are just adorable. The illustrations are bright, cheerful and delightful and the stories are humorous yet applicable.

Grandpas are Great!

The Grandpa Book This whimsical and fun book by Todd Parr is all about the different kinds of grandpas. The silly nature of this book hides a serious message of acceptance for the ways in which grandpas are different, including grandpas who talk too loud and grandpas who ride in wheelchairs. There's also a place inside the back cover for you to put a picture of your grandpa. The simple text and line drawings make this book appropriate for young children, but Parr's signature humor and bright, funky colors make it a fun book for older kids as well.

A Great Personalized Gift Idea!

My son gave this book to his grandpa for Father's Day. We cut out faces from photos of grandpa and his grandchildren and then taped them over some of the illustrated faces. It was a great way to personalize the book and it was a huge hit with everyone, especially the grandkids. They want Grandpa to read it to them all the time. Can't wait to do one for Grandma.

A fun book about Grandpas!

This book features grandpa's doing all kinds of different things in fun, colorful illustrations. I bought this book for my daughter to give to her grandpa for Father's Day. There is even a page at the end of the book for you to put a picture of grandpa!!

My grandson loves this book and so does his grandpa!

My grandson just loves this book by Todd Parr...the colors are so bright and the pictures so simple but pure. We read this to him almost everyday. His grandpa is delighted that we bought this book for him to share with his grandson.
