Smith's Big Book of Grandpa's Stories!!

By del Fortner

Pull up a chair. Grandpa has a story to tell, and Smith is brave enough to ask for the scary ones.

Every evening, Smith asks his grandpa for a story. Not just any story: a scary story. Soon he is meeting Gary the misunderstood ghost, visiting the Land of MU, blasting toward space, and following a strange song through the jungle at night.

Smith's Big Book of Grandpa's Stories is a playful collection of five hand-drawn adventures for young readers who like funny scares, big imagination, and stories that feel like they were made just for them. Written and illustrated by Del Fortner for his grandson, this warm grandpa-and-grandson book blends family storytelling, silly suspense, fantasy, space adventure, and read-aloud fun.

Perfect for children who enjoy spooky stories that are not too scary, humorous ghost stories, early chapter books, and illustrated family adventures, this book invites readers to sit down with Smith and Grandpa and say, "Tell me more."
