Granpa

Very sensitive story about the love between a child and her grandfather and the hint at the inevitable separation at the end.

*could contain spoilers!!!*I first laid eyes on this book where I work ina day nursery and was charmed immediately. The lovely tale of the realtionship between a little girl and her Grandfather is moving beyond belief. Not least because i just lost my beloved Grandad and the piucture of the emty chair at the end so resonates with me I had to take a moment to catch my breath. The two love to play. Pretending to make ice cream or spending a day at the beach. One day, Grandpa is too poorly to play what will happen to their relationship? so charming it's a must read for any child and a great reminder that Grandparents are a true gift.

great

As a Grandad of three years standing I am in the same position as the Grandpa of this book. This is a childrens book in the classic mould illustrated by a famous book illustrator. It contains none of the Disney-style modern world and concentrates on the real relationship between a little child and an old man, with a lovely laconic text and various psychological insights. The last page has the little girl standing looking at Grandpa's empty chair. This could be taken as a cue for a conversation between parent and child about death. Be prepared to talk about this (or maybe tear the last page out?) (only joking). Signed: New Grandad.

孫娘とおじいちゃんのやりとりの絵本です。孫娘とおじいちゃんの台詞では，書体が違います。それで，区別しています。最後に，大人の女性が緑色の乳母車を引いているところの絵で終わります。これは，孫娘が大人になって，子供を作ったことを表しているのでしょうか。大人が読んでも素敵な絵本です。
