Reviews
"In this affecting picture book, a boy recounts the life of his beloved great-grandfather...The author's illustrations, a blend of line drawings and sponge painting, have a classic feel, and make clever use of the topiary theme, rewarding close examination and repeated reading." -- The New Yorker "Great-grandpa's memory may be going, but the past remains vibrantly alive in the playful topiaries that decorate his brilliantly green yard. Lush and magical." -- People "An unassuming little masterpiece...the book's power lies in its rich, allusive artistry." -- New York Times Book Review "It's a rare glimpse into Smith's softer side--as skillful as his more sly offerings, but crafted with honesty and heart." -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review "Visually intriguing and emotionally resonant, this is a book to pore over and talk about.

Synopsis
A Caldecott Honor Book From the creator of the national bestseller It's a Book comes a Caldecott Honor-winning timeless story of family history, legacy, and love. Grandpa Green wasn't always a gardener. He was a farmboy and a kid with chickenpox and a soldier and, most of all, an artist. In this captivating new picture book, readers follow Grandpa Green's great-grandson into a garden he created, a fantastic world where memories are handed down in the fanciful shapes of topiary trees and imagination recreates things forgotten. In his most enigmatic and beautiful work to date, Lane Smith explores aging, memory, and the bonds of family history and love; by turns touching and whimsical, it's a stunning picture book that parents and grandparents will be sharing with children for years to come. This title has Common Core connections. Grandpa Green is a Publishers Weekly Best Children's Picture Books title for 2011. One of School Library Journal 's Best Picture Books of 2011.

Reasonably priced. A real bargain. What more could I ask for? Without question, I would definitely buy from this seller again.
- _***a (30)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived definitely not in the “very good” condition that was described. This could easily be attributed to extremely poor packing. (Wrapping a thin hardcover book in nothing but a plastic shipping bag is just asking for it to get bent.) However, seller was fast to ship, responsive to communication, and offered a fair settlement and/or refund without trouble. So it was still an overall positive experience.Puerto Rico The Island of Enchantment (English Version) - hardcover Mark Dre... (#388306985319)
