Funny and heartwarming

What a sweet story that teaches kids some Spanish in the same sitting. Joyce Rossi, thanks for writing this!

The gullywasher

A darling story of a little girl and her grandfather, with a hispanic ranch flavor. Its an easy-to-read tale about how "abuelito" got his tummy, his gray hair and stooped posture. If you have a grandaughter, its a great gift to give her from her grampa! This version has the spanish translation too.

If you'e an illustration fan, you'll enjoy this book

The story line a very funny. I swear, it sounds like my own grandfather telling this story. The glossary in the back is really cool. The illustrations are wonderful. I'd recommend this book for early readers or kids of about 5 or so. Our 3 yr old didn't sit still long enough to enjoy it. But mom and dad sure did!
