Brief summary: This book follow's Grandpa Green's great-grandson as he discovers just who is grandpa was! He discovers that his grandfather was much, much more than the ordinary gardener that the grandson thought he was! This is a must read for young readers discovering the people around them!
How you would use the book with students.: I would use this book with young students to show them that the people who surround them are much more than they appear to be! I would explain to the students that everyone plays multiple roles and the roles can even change depending who is looking at them!
