It is a lovely story for Grandparents to share with their mokopuna to create new, and cherish-able memories like mine. This story is one I cherish and have fond memories of. For older students, this would be a great book to encourage conversation about how we throw away items so readily in modern day society in comparison to years ago when everything was mended by hand and given away as "Hand me downs". This story talks about the new to replace worn and tatty items whilst exploring the theme of our materialistic world. Having first enjoyed this series 20 odd years ago, when my Grandma and Grandpa first read this to me, it is lovely to be able to share this classic story with my students now. The front cover of grandpa with his hairy legs and very holey slippers gives the reader a good look into what the story will be about.Īs a teacher of primary aged children, I can honestly say this book is well and truly enjoyed as a shared picture book story amongst all children. The pictures in this book and lovely and make children giggle. I like that this book is part of a series and can be explored over time as a time, whilst simultaneously being one off, individual stories. It is a feel good story which to this day still brings a smile to my face. Grandpa's Slippers, like all of the Grandpa series is a classic, favourite of mine from childhood.
