Elmer and Grandpa Eldo by David McKee

Its been a year, since Krishang's Grandpa passed away. He loved his Grandpa(dada) the best...still does. Krishang used to wait for his dada to come home from work. The minute he finds that dada is climbing the stairs, he used to jump all around with joy and dance about. His dada used to play cricket, hide and seek and tell him lots and lots of stories. Dada was his best buddy. He misses him a lot.

I was a bit skeptical about reading this book...but there were so many things in the book that dada and Krishang did together...i felt PULLED by it...

Grandpa aka dada is the most important person in a child's life. No matter how hard one tries NO ONE can change their value, love or even take their place.

In this book...
Elmer the beautiful patchwork elephant is different from all other elephants. He has colourful patches on his body! And he is all ready, with Grandpa Eldo's favourite fruit on his head to visit him. Elmer was visiting Grandpa after a llllllllong time. Would Grandpa be pleased to see Elmer? Would Grandpa remember all the fun they had? What if he forgot? What would Elmer do?

Winsome illustrations by David Makee attracts the child to notice the minute detailing like shocked rabbits and birds. The expressions of all creatures holds the child's attention.
