David M. Schwartz is the author of numerous books, including the award-winning math titles How Much Is a Million?, G is for Googol and If You Hopped Like a Frog. When he is not speaking at schools and libraries around the U.S. and abroad, he can sometimes be seen on his bicycle, climbing the hills near his home in Oakland, CA.
"Supergrandpa shattered stereotypes of the elderly and showed
people how to make dreams come true, and this is the spirit of the
book. Dodson's watercolors in double-page spreads capture the
event, spurring the reader to root for the old guy, a man who
certainly earned his folk-hero status." --Booklist
"Schwartz brings out the story's inherent drama, nicely enhanced in
Dodson's watercolors, where the white-bearded biker is
affectionately characterized and his setting carefully evoked."
--Kirkus Reviews
"This title will be especially appropriate for intergenerational
audiences, and is a good reminder that we all have dreams,
regardless of age. The CD includes a fine rendition of a Swedish
waltz. This timeless, meaningful tale will delight listeners and
should be considered an essential purchase." --School Library
Journal
"A classic children's book . . . should pedal its way onto the
bookshelves of both grandparents and grandchildren." --UPI Arts &
Entertainment
"Schwartz, the author of the popular How Much Is a Million?, is
witty and deft. The watercolors are the next best thing to a week
in the Scandinavian countryside and a bowl of lingonberries."
--Smithsonian Notable Books for Children
