<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Presenting the 1988 Caldecott Medal winner in a long-awaited quality paperback edition. Bridging the generations, this picture book shows the warm relationship between three children and their grandpa, a former vaudeville song and dance man who proves he hasn't lost his touch. Gammell's vibrant, whimsical pictures dance across the page in 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. Utterly original.--(starred) <i>Booklist. </i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Karen Ackerman has written over 25 books for young readers, including T<i>he Night Crossing, A Brighter Garden illustrated by Tasha Tudor</i>, and <i>Bingleman's Midway</i> illustrated by Barry Moser. <p/> In addition to winning the Caldecott Award for his spirited illustrations in <i>Song and Dance Man</i>, Stephen Gammell is the illustrator of two Caldecott Honor Books, <i>The Relatives Came</i> by Cynthia Rylant and <i>Where the Buffaloes Begin</i> by Olaf Baker.
