Father’s Day Book Pick: Buy Grandpa Time
I’ve always been a fan of kids books for adults on holidays – especially grandparents who can very well buy themselves everything they’ve ever wanted . . . except time with the grandkids.
Just in time for Father’s Day, Kristy Dempsey’s Me With You offers grandpas plenty of time to cuddle on the couch with their favorite little munchkin.
A grandcub finds she’s comfy just being herself with grandpa bear leading the way, in a story that’s filled with gorgeous illustrations and the types of things grandfathers and grandkids do best (picking flowers, playing baseball, you name it . . .). Celebrating the special relationship between grandpas and grandkids, Me With You solves the bigger question – is there anything I can get him for Father’s Day that he’ll actually use?
How about time with his grandkids?
It’s time they’ll be looking back on when they paw through his shelves in twenty years so you can read it to their kids.
Though it’s technically the tale of a girl cub, the story doesn’t have a clear gender and some of the pictures are gender-neutral, which allows the book to find a wider audience. The simple rhymes put this at the earlier end of the four-to-eight age group recommended by publisher Penguin, but kids who enjoy snuggling up to grandpa will overlook the story and just enjoy the ride.
Check out the “video trailer” for the book and get it from Amazon!
