Children's Book Reviews: Grandpa Grouper: The Fish with Glasses
Grandpa Grouper: The Fish with Glasses
Don Arends
ISBN 10: 0-9768880-0-9
Our world is inundated with graphic and violent images both on TV and in video games. In a traditionally
styled children’s book, Grandpa Grouper: The Fish With Glasses, author Don Arends attempts to draw
attention back to the written word.
Grandpa Grouper, with his friends, lives in the coral reef. Grandpa and his friends are captured by a
mini-submarine and brought to a new home at the aquarium. There, Grandpa becomes the star of the
show where children come to see all of the beautiful fish. Even though their new home has all the things
they need, it's not home. Devising a plan to escape and return to their homes, the group only need the
perfect moment to put that plan in to practice. Will they make it home?
With engaging questions on every page, even the youngest of listeners or readers will feel they are part
of the story. The illustrations are quite colorful and bright, eliciting the feel of a magical watery realm.
We love this story of friendship, teamwork and determination.
