Verne Steen

There are some things a grandfather just ought to know, like how to make a slingshot from a fallen limb and an old inner tube, how to make a kite from newspaper, how to do a few magic tricks, and how to make his grandchildren say, "Cool, Grandpa!"

No, this book is not a seniors' guide to the latest bands on MTV or the hottest web sites. Rather, this charming guide shows you how to engage children with fun, inexpensive projects that can teach valuable life lessons. Each project is clearly described and illustrated, and most can be made with a pocket knife and common household items.

This delightful compendium of things all grandfathers should know how to make or do is an essential reference for every old fogey who'd rather be "way cool"!

A retired engineer, Verne Steen is the coolest grandfather in California. (At least, his eight grandchildren think so.)

"A charming book." (Spokane Spokesman-Review)

"Amusing and entertaining." (Chicago Tribune)
