My Grandpa

Grandpa lives in a huge building/It looks like a big hotel/It's really called a nursing home/For old folks - sick or well'. Visits with Grandpa are such good fun - playing games, exploring, listening to stories . . . There is always something new and exciting to do together, and lots of people to see. There's a library, an exercise room, a craft ship, and a restaurant. Grandpa always has a smile and a wink for his little visitor, even when he is not feeling well. 'My Grandpa' celebates the wonderful relationship children can enjoy with their grandparents. Young readers and listeners alike can learn about the aging process, and begin to understand why older people need extra care, and what it means when they are too tired or too sick to go on.
