In this warmly comic memoir of grandson Max's first year, Saul Turteltaub - who believes he's immune to "The Grandfather Thing" - is converted from a disinterested bystander to a super enthusiast of this wondrous new world where a simple remark like "...he has your smile" can turn a perfectly sober and normally objective observer into a gushing, babbling, doting "grandpa." With running, actually crawling, commentary and sage observations by one-year-old Max, (who is wise beyond his year), "The Grandfather Thing" provides a loving look at a man's most unique relationship.

The perfect gift,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Grandfather Thing (Hardcover)
If Erma Bombeck had been a grandfather she would have written this terribly clever and witty book. I've recommended it to all my friends having children. The real scoop ooops "poop" by grandson, Max is hilarious. If there's a way to know what's going on inside a baby's brain, writer, Saul Turteltaub, did it. It starts with the writer positive he's not going to be one of those sloppy grandfathers insessantly talking about a two month old baby who does nothing by lay there...by the end he's showing pictures to complete strangers on the street. Very, very cute!

Mr. Turteltaub has got a way with words. You don't have to experience being a grandparent or even a parent to laugh out loud at this book.
