Margot was a good friend of my grandfathers and she used him as God in this book! When I was a little girl I loved for my mother to read me this book before bed so I could see the beautiful pictures of my grampy! He rencently passed away and I thank Margot for using my grandfather in this book. I now have something great to read to my kids and build memories of our own. We love and Miss you grampy and thanks again Margot.

Read this wonderful book. It'll make you laugh about the halarious roles that each of the characters play. Both child and adult will want to read it over and over again!
