Summary from Macmillan
My Grandpa is getting old. But that's how he is, and that's why I love him.
A moving and memorable book about the very
special relationship between an elderly grandfather and his adoring
grandson, this unique look at old age through the eyes of a young bear
is big-hearted, poignant and beautifully observed.
Nayuleska's thoughts
My
heart was warm and fuzzy from cover to cover. The colour and design of
the illustrations are simple, yet convey deep and meaningful sentiments.
Sometimes it can be a bit of hard work being with an aging family
member, but they have a lot to give if you just love them. Children of
all ages should read this book.

For another sweet read which you will need a box of tissues is Missing Mummy by Rebecca Cobb
