Books with title Grandpa and Bo

In only about 200 words, author P.K. Hallinan conveys the love shared between children and their grandfathers. The opening line, "My grandpa and I have great times together!" sets the tone of this love poem from child to grandparent. And the conclusion, "He laughs when I'm happy . . . And he aches when I sigh," reinforces the special bond between the two.

Gus and Grandpa make their debut in three lively and tender stories. In the first, Gus makes a mess while trying to feed Grandpa's dog, Skipper (Grandpa makes him clean it up). In the second, Grandpa loses his car at the mall (Gus finds it). In the third, Gus and Grandpa share a birthday party and exchange presents (Grandpa gives Gus a dog-food scoop for neater feedings, and Gus gives Grandpa a ball of yarn to help him keep track of the car). Claudia Mills's Gus and Grandpa, a pair whose enthusiasm and affection will captivate beginning readers, are brought to life by Catherine Stock in sparkling, sun-drenched pictures.
