Product DescriptionGrandfather's wheeliething races around the town in all kinds of weather, delighting those who see itFrom Publishers WeeklyThis slight ditty sings the praises of the homemade, bicyclelike contraption that Grandfather rides through town. Smith's ( Chester the OutofWork Dog ) jaunty, looselined, violettoned gouache paintings add the only noticeable life to the verse ("He wheeled it in snownstorms / and he wheeled it in rain. / He wheeled it and wheeled it, /, and he wheeled it again"). The artwork runs wild with the general premise, providing a jolly parade of characters who get caught up in Grandfather's freewheeling spin. The feelgood visuals, spirited as they are, cannot by themselves pump up this volume. Ages 36.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.From School Library JournalPreSchoolGrade 1Grandfather and his wheelything attract young and old as he careens down streets, in and out of various seasons and weather conditions, until he finally plops into the ocean. Smith's bluegreen and purple gouache cartoons lend a decidedly Nor'east flair to the turnofthecentury setting. Ball's rhymed text is simple, as is the plot. Unfortunately, the story falls short of its initial promise of a freespirited adventure, and becomes saturated with a sameness that makes the ending rather appropriateit just seems to go nowhere.Claudia Cooper, Ft.
