Putnam Juvenile, 2006

Delightful juxtaposition of youth and aging
Andrea Cheng does a delightful job of taking a topic that is sometimes "scary" for children--that of the elderly. She shows the world from two points of view and then bridges those worlds in a touching, gentle way. Just when you think this might have a pitiful ending, there's a fun twist that leaves the reader deeply satisfied. A wonderful read that any children with an aging neighbor, ...

Grandfather Counts (Reading Rainbow Book) (Reading Rainbow Book)

Heartwarming grandparent-grandchild story
The delicate relationship between the child and her grandfather is beautifully developed by the author, and the message that our differences -- age, language, etc. -- matter less than what we share is conveyed with subtlety. The glossary of Chinese words gives added insight into a different culture. The illustrations are good, though not as outstanding as the text. A real charmer!

Well-written but consider pre-reading
This is really well-written - but as a parent I want to add that it might bother some sensitive souls, especially if they are going through something similar. I just saw it at the library and could really feel the pain of having his grandmother move away - although in some ways it deepened his relationship with her -and with others. One tiny nit-pick: I wish his grandmother had been called ...
