review 1: The design and illustrations for this story are a study in contrast, anxiety, character development, and ambivalence. Grandpa Frank is a walking stereotype of curmudgeonly proportions, with intermittent hints suggesting the old dude has surprises up his sleeve. The endpapers should generate countless questions in and of themselves. Like the best of picture books, the resolution is tidying, and the bonus of new friends wanting to visit is a delightful bonus.
review 2: Right after reading Grandpa Green, I picked up The Frank Show by David MacIntosh. Like Grandpa Green, this book is a great catalyst for a discussion on grandparents. We know our grandparents only as the older, more wrinkled versions of our parents. As children, we often don’t realize that our... more grandparents were ever young and have experienced things that we read about in history books. It wasn't until the deaths of my grandparents when I inherited hundreds of pictures that I realized they had once been young.Both of The Frank Show and Grandpa Green are wonderful stories to share with kids, especially in September when we celebrate Grandparents’ Day. less
