Produktbeschreibung

Gustaf Håkansson was sixty-six years old. In 1951, he was barred from joining the Tour of Sweden due to his age. He participated unofficially, riding his bicycle over 1,000 miles and, to the delight of his countrymen, finished first. Award-winning children's author David M. Schwartz calls him "Super Grandpa" and brings his historic bike ride to life. (Contains the author's narration on audio CD and FREE audio download) Schwartz's zesty narration, enhanced by sound effects and Swedish fiddle music, will captivate listeners ages 4 and up. Older audiences too will cherish this story of a figure who shattered stereotypes about the elderly, and inspired generations to pursue their dreams. * Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People * Smithsonian's Notable Books for Children * Film Advisory Board Award for Excellence * Junior Library Guild Selection (Spanish edition)
