Gramps Is Hard of Hearing

By Jane Soslow and Neil Soslow

Caroline wants to go to the park with her grandfather, but she needs to ask him several times before he understands what she wants.

He keeps thinking shes asking something about the dark or other words that rhyme with park, but he finally gets the gist, and they set out to enjoy the day together.

As Caroline spends quality time with her grandfather, she learns all about hearing deficits, including what a hearing aid looks like, how it operates, and why it sometimes squeals when someone gets too close to it or when its adjusted.

Caroline and Gramps even find out they know some basic sign language that they can teach each other.

Filled with wonderful illustrations to help children understand concepts, this story celebrates family values and is a must-have for anyone hard of hearing who wants to develop a deeper understanding and a stronger bond with loved ones.

Reviews for Gramps Is Hard of Hearing

[carissaburks-1 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The intent of the book is commendable, however it falls short. The writing is too quickly paced and the way the text is laid out on the page is frankly, not entirely appealing. The art is cute and what the author is trying to convey and talk about is good, but there are books out there that are able to talk about this issue and talk about it better.It is written in a straight forward manner and does provide some good facts for the reader, but the overall plot is not entirely engaging and the writing is rather simplistic in nature.(*Note: I received this book in exchange for an honest review through Goodreads Giveaways.)
