Charming little picture book about a grandfather who tells stories through topiary. There is a mention that he forgets things, so it could be an entry point to discussions about aging or dementia. Audience probably K-2. ( ) This is an exceptional book, and a wonderful, spot on way of blending story and artistry that leaves the reader smiling. Told by a little boy who is journeying through the story of his great grandfather via the topiaries he so loved to make. As we follow the little boy through the garden path where large green topiaries remind him of the love that continues throughout all the years of the garden. We learn that the grandpa was born a long time ago, grew up on a farm, got chicken pox in fourth grade (not from the chickens), and so the little boy read while recovering. His great grandfather studied horticulture, in middle school stole his first kiss, married his wife he met in France during the war....and they never fought! As the reader progresses into the journey of lovely green, the boy notes the great grand pa grew old and forgot things, but when he forgot, the topiaries told his story. This is a Caldecott Honor Book. I'm surprised it did not receive the Caldecott Medal. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
