Cortito, muy cortito. Me ha puesto un poco triste porque mi abuelo falleció hace menos de un año.
Este tipo de libros me gusta, casi no hay texto pero aún así transmite algo.

I received a copy from author/publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. The following review is my own and will not be affected by this.

Cristian and I decided to read Time together for our bedtime story the other night. He seemed to really enjoy it, it takes him a while to sit through an entire bedtime story but Time Together-Me & Grandpa really caught his attention and I would have to say it was because the illustrations were gorgeous.

The book is illustrated by Pascal Campion. The illustrations like I said are gorgeous. The book has few words but I felt like the illustrations could have told the story on its own. The people in the illustration looked genuinely happy to be in each other's company. My son would often tell me what the people in the books were doing before I had read the story. I thought it was neat to see him so engaged in the book.

What I really liked about the book was its message. The importance of spending time with your grandparents rather it be simply reading next to each other or lay down next to each other, you are spending time with one another. I think that is a really important message. The story was very simple but carried a great message of quality time. The illustrations were great and helped really bring the story together.

Like I said, I usually struggle to get my son to sit still through an entire bedtime story but this book he sat threw and even made up his own story based on the illustrations. We would definitely recommend!

A lovely, quiet book that shows many kinds of ways to spend time with grandfathers, from speedy soccer time to late night toasts with milk. Grandfathers of many backgrounds, appearances, and habits are featured. Highly recommended. Review copy received via NetGalley.com. (158)

This colorful book would be a good choice for your young reader, and would also make an excellent bedtime story book.
Each page covers an activity a Grandfather shares with his Grandchild, and the illustrations are lively and detailed.

"Me and Grandpa are birds of a feather.
We love each other and our time together."

I received this book in exchange for an honest review

Received an ARC copy from Netgalley for an honest review.
I liked that this book was a quick read for my girls, 3 and 5 year old. I like books that have pictures go with what I am reading to them. That allows my girls to see the picture and relate what I am reading to the. Maybe because I am a school teacher I noticed that this book had a lot of diversity in it. I really enjoyed that too. We saw pictures of a child and their dad from different races. The pictures also allowed me to start conversation with my girls. What was this picture? Do you and daddy do this? I enjoy books that allow us to communicate with the information we read in the story.
