Reviews: Grandpa For Sale

Grandpa for Sale is an excellent book. It is written by Dotti Enderle and Vicki Sansum and illustrated by T. Kyle Gentry.

I am not sure which I like better in this book, the amazing illustrations or the original and thought provoking story. Gentry captures the essence of this story with his combination of black and white and color illustrations. There is color on every page which emphasizes the important parts of the story.

The story itself reminds me of when I was a child and how I would think "if I had a million dollars I would..." Lizzie, the main character, has the opportunity to fulfill her childhood fantasies but decides that they are not equal to the value of one beloved grandfather! A delightful story that my children thoroughly enjoyed (ages 10 and 7) and we will read again and again!
