About the book:
While one grumpy-looking grandpa chaperones a pool party, a group of friends enjoy racing, basketball, pool games, and cannonball contests. As the day progresses, the excitement grows, and the splashes get closer and closer to an unamused grandpa. And what happens if he–KERSPLASH–gets soaked? Don't Splash Grandpa is the perfect summer repeat read-aloud for any fun-loving grandchild or grandpa, or anyone who loves a pool day!
My review:
Grandpa, with his strawberry hat, lawn chair, and book, take his plethora of grandchildren to the pool. There he sits as the kids play but the one rule, do not splash him, such the title of the book.
Written in rhyme, I got a kick out of everything the kids do in the pool, all summertime fun. I also got a little giggle of how they tried not to break the one rule, including a cute page where they are measuring a pool water puddle so close to grandpa! Everything is going great until...(spoiler) a shark attack! What happens next is just plain funny and totally unexpected, even more than a shark in a pool. Of course, I can't tell you and you will have to read the book, but I guarantee, you will be surprised.
I loved this book with the multitude and multi-cultural kids in tow and grandpa being well, grumpy. There are a few characters and loads more kids that show up at the pool for a fun read. The illustrations of them are adorable and as splashy as the book itself. The fact the book rhymes is simply a sunshine-ing plus!
5 stars.
