Grandma Found a Gecko

This read-aloud tale is guaranteed to draw snickers, giggles and belly laughs from two- to ten-year-olds, and readers of all ages. In Grandma Found A Gecko, the narrator shares a childhood memory of a confounding and stubborn contest between human and reptile natures that ends in mutual delight. Author Vincent F. A. Golphin (African American Children's Stories: A Treasury of Tradition and Pride) and illustrator James P. Cottage (After) unite to produce a fanciful fiction primed to peak children's interests and imaginations. At the same time, in the tradition of classics such as The Velveteen Rabbit, the work might reach adults' hearts, too.
