What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

To Mary Ann and Louie, Grandpa is pretty boring. No matter what happens, he always said the same thing: “Could be worse.” The dog ate the sofa kitchen? “Could be worse.” The bike has a flat. “Could be worse.” Then one day he surprises them with a story so amazing, and so incredible, there’s only one thing they can say about it - and they do!
