Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
My Grandpa is Great
Gaby Goldsack · 2003
58/100
👎 Skip It
Warm, brief, and harmless — My Grandpa is Great does exactly what it sets out to do as a gift book for very small children, with humor in the illustrations carrying much of the weight. But there is almost no text, no narrative arc to speak of, and no formal critical coverage that would help distinguish it from a dozen similar gift-book-series entries. It functions better as a wrapped present from a grandparent than as a meaningful addition to a home library.
