Warm and Charmimg
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is is full of adventure and imagination. I would recommend this book to any parent or grandparent because of it's content, charm, sense of action, and the wonderfully articulated paintings that give the manuscript direction and life. The book promotes family time, quiet time, and the wonderful comraderie between grandparent and grandchild. The writing was fluid and easy to recite, and the illustrations were filled with vibrant figures, landscapes, and color--lots of warm color!This book was well worth my money. My grandchild and I read it each time he comes to visit.
Fire Up Your Child's Imagination!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
In this bedtime book, Gramps and Jesse rock in front of the fire. Not sleepy, they imagine pictures in the flames- an apple tree, a garden path, a castle. But suddenly they see a fire dragon! With the dragon chasing them, they scramble up a tree, ride a hot air balloon, race horseback down a mountain, bike through a jungle, and run down a tunnel. When the dragon gets too close to Gramps, quick-thinking Jesse saves the day. This fast-paced adventure keeps kids on the edge of their seats, but the roly-poly dragon is never too scary for little ones. The ending is sleepy and cozy, as Gramps and Jesse fall asleep together in the rocking chair. The brightly colored illustrations depict appealing characters and a delightful imaginary world. A lovely book about a warm grandparent-grandchild relationship, it is also about the wonderful world of the imagination and the joys of storytelling.
