Song and Dance Man

<b>A beautifully nostalgic picture book about one grandfather's younger days that shows you're only as old as you feel!</b><br><br>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>
