The Pocket Grandpa is a handy source of just the right words - at just the right time There’s a social expectation that grandpas are supposed to be reliable sources of homespun wisdom, often delivered with a wink and a clever turn of phrase. But let’s face it - sometimes Grandpa can’t bring the right words to mind, especially when the grandkids are quarreling, begging for something sweet, or playing hacky-sack with a fragile and treasured antique. With its winning blend of timeless inspiration and practicality, The Pocket Grandpa is the perfect gift for the new grandpa, or for those looking for some grandfatherly wisdom.

There was a time when children used to go to their grandpa and grandma often. In a playful way, they would learn and absorb the beautiful values of life. But today, when everyone is becoming busier, at such a time, it is only the stories which can bring us closer to the future generation. Those moments at night before sleeping, when we and our little ones enjoy the stories together, are invaluable. In these moments, unknowingly, the love between us becomes stronger, and the children learn the first lesson of their lives—the value of beautiful relationships. The attempt has been to see each story through the eyes of a child, and to listen to each story with the ears of a child, and understand it with a child's heart. The effort has been that if there is any word which pricks their innocent minds, then that should not reach them through the medium of these stories. The effort here has been that each story has a positive end, from which the dreams of the children get a positive beginning.

The timeless classic and beloved story of a wild horse’s gentle filly—winner of a Newbery Honor! On the island of Chincoteague, off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland, lives a centuries-old band of wild ponies. Among them is the most mysterious of all, Phantom, a rarely-seen mare that eludes all efforts to capture her—that is, until a young boy and girl lay eyes on her and determine that they can’t live without her. The frenzied roundup that follows on the next Pony Penning Day does indeed bring Phantom into their lives, in a way they never would have suspected. Phantom would forever be a creature of the wild. But her gentle, loyal filly Misty is another story altogether . . . “A thrilling and long-to-be-remembered tale.” —San Francisco Chronicle
