5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!
Not sure why someone gave it just 3 stars. I found it beautifully written, beautifully illustrated and beautifully moving. My 8 year-old daughter choked up, with her eyes on the verge of tears after reading it, as we just returned from visiting her old grandpa, who also likes to tell stories.

3.0 out of 5 stars No "Selma"
I ordered this book after reading Bauer's "Selma," which is totally delightful. This book is OK but I don't like it nearly as well as "Selma."

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, January 28, 2012
This review is from: Grandpa's Angel (Hardcover)
Not sure why someone gave it just 3 stars. I found it beautifully written, beautifully illustrated and beautifully moving. My 8 year-old daughter choked up, with her eyes on the verge of tears after reading it, as we just returned from visiting her old grandpa, who also likes to tell stories. The book deals with the blunt reality of mortality, but in cheerful, upbeat, beautiful way (as much as possible when realistically addressing that grim reality) with a just-right ending, as the survivors move on with life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, February 14, 2010

This review is from: Grandpa's Angel (Hardcover)
I first saw this book on a trip in Thailand. I was mesmerized by the story, even without the words in English (it was in the original German). When I saw that it was translated into English I was thrilled and immediately picked up a copy.

This book has beautiful art with masterful layered storytelling that melds words and pictures together.

The story is great and the illustrations are nice and funny. The subtle political message makes this book even greater. Highly recommended!
