My Grandpa's Battleship Missouri Tour

Miss Lovett's class is in for a big surprise when they head to Pearl Harbor to visit the historic USS Missouri - and the young narrator's grandfather leads the tour! In this charming, heartfelt tale, a girl discovers that her grandpa is more than just a nice old guy who retired a long time ago. Grandpa, in fact, is the standout among her school's Career Month speakers, having served aboard the battleship during World War II and witnessed the momentous surrender ceremony that took place on the ship's deck. Colorful illustrations and a catchy, rhyming text teach kids about this key moment in history, along with fascinating battleship facts and the lasting lesson that the older generations have much to teach us today. You just have to ask!
