Book Description

4 and upP and up
It’s exciting. Incomparable. A jam-packed joy. And the greatest gift for a grandfather and grandchild, celebrating that special bond that skips a generation.

Filled with 25 activities, 60 objects, mementos, life lessons, and educational games—that’s right, there’s fun and learning inside. My Grandpa's Briefcase is a treasure chest of wisdom and surprises. Open grandpa’s briefcase (he wants you to). Play the ABCs game. Check out his secret spider collection. Enjoy knock-knock jokes behind a lift-the-flap door and have fun with the real whoopi cushion. There are shoelaces to tie, a clock for learning how to tell time, even grandpa’s original decision maker with a spinner that points to yes, no, or maybe (plus vanilla, chocolate, strawberry). And help grandpa find his glasses—all 10 of them!

Even more, MY GRANDPA’S BRIEFCASE is a portrait of a wonderful character with a curious, passionate nature, a weakness for practical jokes, and a real love for life. So when dad says “Be a winner!” Grandpa knows what’s really important: “Do the best you can.” A perfect role model.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"Count your pennies and count your blessings," says Grandpa.

Grandpa's such a character. Rummage through his briefcase and who knows what you'll find.

Try out his favorite tongue twisters. Play practical jokes with his whoopee cushion. Spin the arrow on Grandpa's Original Decision Maker. He'll even help you to learn your ABC's, to count to 12, tie your shoelaces and tell time.

MY GRANDPA'S BRIEFCASE is a jam-packed joy, filled with activities, mementos, and life lessons. And best of all, it's a story celebrating that special bond between grandpa and a grandchild that skips a generation.

P. HANSON is the author of MY GRANNY'S PURSE.

"And where are my glasses?" says Grandpa.

This was my 2 1/2 year old son's Father's Day gift to his grandfather. What a hit! Lots of goodies to explore together. Good value. The whoopie cushion was a huge success for everyone involved.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool book, not for little kids., January 8, 2010

This review is from: My Grandpa's Briefcase (Board book)
I'm still glad I bought this, even though I am going to have to wait to give it.

I bought this book for my daughter (9months) knowing that she was too young for it, but thinking we could look at it together in a few months. I am going to have to put it up for a couple of years, then look at it with her. It's not a board book for little kids. Some of the pieces are very flimsy and small.

Its a very cool book and I'm excited for her to be able to use it, but will definately have to wait a while. I can imagine that it would last only a few minutes with what I think of as the traditional age (2-4) for a board book.A really great concept and I can see it being used with a 3-4 year old under very close supervision. A great "read on your lap" book.

The book is in a sturdy clear plastic box, each page has removable parts or flaps to open or an activity to do. I would recommend keeping the book in the box on a high shelf when not in use, if your child is small.

I bought all three in the series: My mommy's tote, My grannies purse, and My grandpa's briefcase. They are all very cute, cool books, but similar in durability. I thought that the author would have to repeat some of the ideas in each book, but was surprised at how different each were considering how similar the concept was.

I would buy again or give as a gift.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for older toddlers, July 7, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Grandpa's Briefcase (Board book)
This is a very cool toy, but beware if your toddler is too young. Our little one is 18-months, and he just destroyed this. It's like a pop-up book, kind of, and he just ripped stuff out of it.
