Reviews
“This title will be especially appropriate for intergenerational audiences, and is a good reminder that we all have dreams, regardless of age. The CD includes a fine rendition of a Swedish waltz. This timeless, meaningful tale will delight listeners and should be considered an essential purchase.” —School Library Journal
“Schwartz brings out the story’s inherent drama, nicely enhanced in Dodson’s watercolors, where the white-bearded biker is affectionately characterized and his setting carefully evoked." —Kirkus Reviews
“A classic children’s book . . . should pedal its way onto the bookshelves of both grandparents and grandchildren.” —UPI Arts & Entertainment
“Supergrandpa shattered stereotypes of the elderly and showed people how to make dreams come true, and this is the spirit of the book. Dodson’s watercolors in double-page spreads capture the event, spurring the reader to root for the old guy, a man who certainly earned his folk-hero status." —Booklist
“Schwartz, the author of the popular How Much Is a Million?, is witty and deft. The watercolors are the next best thing to a week in the Scandinavian countryside and a bowl of lingonberries." —Smithsonian Notable Books for Children
