Grandpa's Mustache Mary Beth Magee

A gentle children's picture book in verse, Grandpa's Mustache celebrates the grandfather-grandchild relationship through the child's observations of Grandpa's mustache. Cally Edwards' heartwarming illustrations add a special dimension to the story. Read the book aloud to younger children; first and second graders should have no trouble reading for themselves. The illustrations are not ethnically specific, allowing any child to see his or her own grandfather in the images. Use the images as a coloring book, as well, to further allow the child to personalize the characters.
