Bookroo's summary

Grandpa Bear invites young Jake on a nostalgic walk through town, sharing memories of favorite spots he visited with his own grandpa. As Jake eagerly guesses their destination—movies, baseball park, beach—Grandpa keeps the secret until they arrive at a surprising, magical place: the library. What wonders await them inside?

From the publisher

In this heartwarming intergenerational story, Grandpa Bear introduces his grandson Jake to a very special place–the library! Let’s turn the TV off, says Grandpa to Jake. There’s some place I’d like to show you… a place my Grandpa took me when I was your age. As the two of them walk through the busy town, Grandpa shares the favorite places he and his own grandpa went together . . . and Little Jake keeps guessing where they are going. The movies? The baseball park? The beach? Not this time, says Grandpa, and has Jake close his eyes before going into . . . the library!
