Our young reviewers enjoyed this sweet story about a grandpa and his grandkids, and agreed that this read-aloud for young children will make the listener feel good. Including both grandsons and granddaughters allowed each kindergartener to identify with one or more of the interests the pair shares-fishing, hiking, camping, singing, reading. Although some would have preferred lengthening the narrative with swimming, tennis, baseball, and corny joke telling, most of these five- and six-year-olds thought this short tale was long enough to convey the love between the generations. The rhyming text and repeating phrase, "with me," were a hit with our students, as were the photo album styled ink-and-watercolor illustrations. The predictable ending disappointed discriminating audience members, who suggested introducing the grandmother on the last page to add an element of surprise.

This is a sweet children's book that is about Grandpa and the special things he does with a grandchild! Really enjoyed reading this book - and gave as a gift to a friend who had their first grandchild. It was not available as new - so I had to buy used, however the condition was just like new! Would definitely buy again to give as a gift!
