Book description:
Gregory's Grandpa Grumpy is certainly cranky - he can
find something wrong with anything and everything, even though there's
nothing really wrong at all! Take the zoo, for example. When Grandpa
Grumpy takes Gregory and his friends on an outing, it's too hot, it
looks like rain, and they might even be late getting there. Not to
mention the baboons are too smelly, the camels are too bumpy, and the
ice cream is, well, too messy! But every one of Grandpa's negatives
results in a positive for a child - one can see the baboons better,
another gets an extra ride on a camel, and a youngster with no money
ends up with Grandpa's ice cream cone. Even when he is too hot and tired
to go on, Grandpa manages to find a place to rest right next to a
playground! Most children have encountered a grump at one time or
another - maybe even in their own families. This chuckle of a book
teaches kids to look beyond the gruff exterior, like Gregory does, to
find the love inside.

Bargains Review

This is an adorable book for children; especially those with
their own "grumpy grandpa". The illustrations are done very
well and the storyline is adorable. It reminds me of my own
dad. It is sometimes hard for older men to show their
feelings, even to their grandkids. This book will help
children understand that they are loved, even if it isn't
communicated with words.
