In this affectionate story, three children follow their grandfather up to the attic, where he regales them with stories of his days as a vaudeville song and dance man. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A beautifully nostalgic picture book about one grandfather's younger days that shows you're only as old as you feel!</b> <p/>In this affectionate story, three children follow their grandfather up to the attic, where he pulls out his old bowler hat, gold-tipped cane, and his tap shoes. Grandpa once danced on the vaudeville stage, and as he glides across the floor, the children can see what it was like to be a song and dance man. Gammell captures all the story's inherent <i>joie de vivre</i> with color pencil renderings that leap off the pages. Bespectacled, enthusiastic Grandpa clearly exudes the message that you're only as old as you feel, but the children respond--as will readers--to the nostalgia of the moment.
