Rating: Summary: Reviewed by Denise's Pieces Book Reviews Review: What a delightful book! The author and illustrator have combined their talents to create a truly enjoyable story. I read this book a few times and found it to be heartwarming and creatively written to capture the love that exists between grandparents and their grandchildren. The verses were both humorous and touching; the illustrations were beautiful.I decided to put this book to the real test. Since I am the grandmother of three, all under the age of six, I knew I could assemble a captive audience. It took some time to get through the first read with the grandkids. They kept giggling and interrupting to reminisce about the times they had done similar things in the book with their grandpa and me. By the fifth time they asked me to reread the story, I knew we had found a new favorite. They loved the book and I loved the bonding moments we were sharing by reading it. That alone would guarantee my highest recommendation. THAT'S WHAT GRANDPARENTS ARE FOR is a wonderful new addition on my bookshelf and I am sure it will be read over and over again.
