Sehnita Joshua Mattison - Television ProducerThis is a wonderful, intergenerational story of a child's love and respect for a grandparent, filled with madcap antics and adventures. It also highlights a community's appreciation of an older person's contribution to others. We can't find enough of these stories that include all ages and this is definitely one to cherish-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tanenbaum and Zaslow have created a delightful story that captures a young child's undaunted drive to help his family and community. Even when his efforts go awry, you cannot help loving how tireless Alex is in his wish to help his Grandpa . And, of course, Big Shaggy Max keeps us laughing with his big sloppy kisses and accidental spilling of paint. A perfect book for a classroom or bedtime discussion!"Kathryn Kehoe, mother of two, grandmother of four, and former third grade teacher in NYC>------------------------------------------------------------------------------Congratulations to Tanenbaum and Zaslow! They have crafted a colorful tale, weaving important messages of forgiveness, determination, community, and character into the special story of a boy and his grandfather. Working in a senior living community, I see the delight in the eyes of our residents when a child visits. As a parent, I know the importance of that intergenerational bond. I hope families read LOVABLE GRANDPA JOE together, remembering how special they make each other feel, and remembering that seniors, like little kids, do BIG things, too!,Amy Nol - Senior Living Concierge and Mother of three-____________________________________________________If you ask a grandparent what is so special about their grandchild, they are often lost for words. The bond seems to exist in a deep place where words hardly exist. Lovable Grandpa Joe reveals the love, the caring, and the attachment involved in a relationship like no other. You will understand if you have one of your own. Your life will feel extended and rejuvenated.Lunel Lemieux - Creator/ Director -Community Circle- Beverly Hills Maple Counseling Center____________________________________________________Alex Bigsby is a little boy with big ideas. But has he bitten off more than he can chew? Forgetting to unplug his grandfather's old coffeepot at Grandpa Joe's Bike Shop teaches Alex and his friends a valuable lesson in fire safety, and their eagerness to earn quick cash without carefully doing their work educates them on the importance of follow-through. One of the pillars of character is responsibility, and this is a great book to teach children (and, sadly, many adults) how to take responsibility for one's actions."-Danny Brassell, Ph.D., internationally-acclaimed speaker, bestselling author of 16 books and co-creator of ReadBETTERin67Steps.com____________________________________________________Readers who enjoyed meeting Big Shaggy Max and his devoted pal, Alex will be happy to follow their adventures in LOVABLE GRANDPA JOE, where Alex learns some important lessons in responsibility as he faces a series of challenges and is determined to make things right.
