Here are some books celebrating Father’s Day that children can read with their grandfathers.

Why I Love My Grandpa – Illustrated by Daniel Howarth



This cute board book is all about the special relationship between a baby animal and their grandfather. Each explains why they love their Grandpa, whether it be because they tell stories about when they were younger, because they build things, because they teach tricks or because they have fun together. Many of the reasons are very similar to those that feature in most Father’s Day books, and could be applied to a book about dads and their kids just as easily. Grandpa will enjoy spending time with his grandchildren reading this book about what makes him so special and loved.

My Pop Is A Pirate – Damon Young (Illustrated by Peter Carnavas)



Just like most people, grandads (or pops) can be very different. They look different, act different, enjoy different activities and exercises, like to eat different foods and even have different ways of snoozing when the day gets tiring. But when your pop is a pirate, everything is especially different… This is a fantastic book that celebrates the diversity of pops all over the world. The illustrations are funny and children will enjoy comparing the different grandads as they go about their days. If you’ve read Damon Young’s previous picture story book, My Nanna Is A Ninja, you may even recognise Nanna lurking on one of the pages with her ninja cat!
