GRANDPA'S QUILT

Author (last name first): Franco, Betsy

Publisher, Date of Publication: Children's Press/ 1999

Grade Level/ or Age Level: 1-2

Classification: Fiction

Grandpa lives with his grandchildren, Anna, Ben, and Lily. He sits in his bed all winter long and reads stories to them. He had a favorite red and yellow quilt that was to short, so his toes stay cold. Each child tries a different way to lengthen the quilt, and finally Lily succeeds. Grandpa's toes stay warm. A word list of 62 words is given at the end for level C. It is excellent to use for vocabulary building.
Humorous and animated drawings tell the story on their own. A very pleasing book that is a must to own as it will certainly hold any child's attention.
