Synopsis
Grandparents may tell stories, knit, garden, bake, or even yodel, and in doing so they act as teachers and role models for their grandchildren. Grandmothers and grandfathers bridge the generations, linking the past with the future; and they form a close, loving bond with their grandchildren that endures beyond life itself. In this companion book to Mommy Poems and Daddy Poems, poet and anthologist John Micklos has collected twenty-two poems that depict the fun, generosity, and companionship that grandparents provide. Poems by Lee Bennett Hopkins, Jeff Moss, Jane Medina, Nikki Grimes, and Mr. Micklos himself honor the love and strength that grandparents bring to their families.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4--A companion to Mommy Poems (2001) and Daddy Poems (2000), this appealing book is similar in scope to Carol and Daniel Hittleman's A Grand Celebration: Grandparents in Poetry (2002, all Boyds Mills). It features 22 selections by contemporary writers such as Nikki Grimes, Francisco X. Alarcón, and Rebecca Kai Dotlich. Many of the poems have been previously published. Relating cherished memories and describing shared activities, they evoke the special bond between the generations. Lee Bennett Hopkins's poignant "Still" is one of several that pays tribute to grandparents no longer living. In the open layout, colorful full-page illustrations alternate with smaller paintings. The realistic artwork shows families from many different backgrounds and complements the warmth and love expressed in the verses.--Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY
