Red Reading Hub –
Full of warmth, this is a lovely book for a grandfather to share with a very young child and a good starting point for conversations about special times shared with individual’s own grandparents. The love they share is palpable in such actions as the tender manner in which Pops extends a supportive hand just in case the little child drops the egg.
