We grandparents do a lot to help educate the kiddies, make life fun and leave lots of good memories.
My (nearly 14) granddaughter was hunting through the books last week, looking for a book that I used to read to her .. we didn't find it, but she remembered.
I thank Grandparent power is greatly underestimated, I don't know how the country would run without it . Some of my sons most treasured memories are the time we spent together reading books

Re: Childrens book illustrations
Thank you all for your responses, I enjoy very much the retelling of memories.My dad's brother lived with us until I was about 5 & he loved books & I'm sure his reading them to me were the foundation of my later extensive vocabulary.
ON the minus side, he was a mariner & some of his uttterings were not suitable for minors. bless him.
ONe example was "The seven pillars of wisdom" by Lawrence of Arabia.& the" Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám "
