Review Quotes
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksThe narrative is particularly effective in converting childish concern into caretaker reassurance ('When your mom and dad leave, pat your grandpa's hand and say, Don't worry. They always come back ')...While grandpas will obviously enjoy sharing this story with their little ones (and parents will enjoy purchasing it for a Father's Day gift for said grandpa), there is enough playfulness here to broaden the appeal to a wider audience.

Had Grandpa read this before I did and he loved it!! Can't wait to read to my Grandson when he visits. I know he will enjoy them. He loves books and to read. It is important to get them reading early, especially they get excited when visiting a Library or seeing a shelf full of books.

Such a perfect book for grandfather and grandson. I wish it apply to all grandchildren. There needs to be one that has little girls and little boys in it. But we love it

This is a cute role reversal story which would also be helpful for young children who have difficulty separating from parents—“they always return.”
