Reviews"A classic children's book . . . should pedal its way onto the bookshelves of both grandparents and grandchildren." -- UPI Arts & Entertainment, "A classic children's book . . . should pedal its way onto the bookshelves of both grandparents and grandchildren." -- UPI Arts & Entertainment, "This title will be especially appropriate for intergenerational audiences, and is a good reminder that we all have dreams, regardless of age. The CD includes a fine rendition of a Swedish waltz. This timeless, meaningful tale will delight listeners and should be considered an essential purchase." -- School Library Journal, " 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, "A classic children's book...should pedal its way onto the bookshelves of both grandparents and grandchildren." --UPI Arts & Entertainment, "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, "This title will be especially appropriate for intergenerational audiences, and is a good reminder that we all have dreams, regardless of age. The CD includes a fine rendition of a Swedish waltz. 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, "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, "A classic children's book...should pedal its way onto the bookshelves of both grandparents and grandchildren." --UPI Arts & Entertainment, "This title will be especially appropriate for intergenerational audiences, and is a good reminder that we all have dreams, regardless of age.
