Grandpa: This short book was coaxed out of my head by grandkids who wanted to hear some stories. I put them in poetry form, added a moral quiz to each one and space for self-illustration. I recommend, grandpa, that you print this ebook out, give it to your grandkids and let them challenge themselves mentally and artistically. They'll love you for it and have a permanent memento of their grandpa.
