"SUPER GRANDPA"
Ages 4 and up
-- Less than 1/3 List Price
-- Brand New
-- Full Color
--Trade Paperback
-- Watercolor Illustrations
Gustaf Hakansson was 66 years old. In 1951, he rode his bicycle over 1,000 miles in the Tour of Sweden and, to the delight of his countrymen, finished first !
Author David Schwartz calls him Super Grandpa and brings his historic bike ride to life. Schwartz's zesty narration will captivate listeners ages 4 and up. Older audiences too will cherish this story of a figure who shattered stereotypes about the elderly and inspired generations to pursue their dreams.
"This title will be especially appropriate for inter-generational audiences, and is a good reminder that we all have dreams, regardless of age. This timeless, meaningful tale will delight listeners and should be considered an essential purchase."
-- School Library Journal
"Schwartz brings out the story's inherent drama, nicely enhanced in Dodson's watercolors, where the white-bearded biker is affectionately characterized and his setting carefully evoked."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"A classic children's book...should pedal its way onto the bookshelves of both grandparents and grandchildren."
-- UPI Arts & Entertainment
"Supergrandpa shattered stereotypes of the elderly and showed people how to make dreams come true, and this is the spirit of the book. Dodson's watercolors in double-page spreads capture the event, spurring the reader to root for the old guy, a man who certainly earned his folk-hero status."
-- Booklist
"Schwartz, the author of the popular How Much Is a Million?, is witty and deft. The watercolors are the next best thing to a week in the Scandinavian countryside and a bowl of lingonberries."
-- Smithsonian Notable Books for Children
