Not as good as the original, but certainly entertaining to discover a sequel to one of my childhood favorites! ( )

Old Tub Grandfather is found lying under a radiator, and won't wake up until Tub Grandmother brings back his memories. The story uses toys to talk about a difficult topic, getting older. This may include sickness or losing memory. If a child has an elderly family member who may have Alzheimer's or some other disease that involves memory loss, this book may help children understand what they are faced with. ( )

Follow-up to The Tub People. Little community of 7 wooden people (toys) find an older wooden man who won't open his eye or talk to them. They try everything they can think of; Grandma finds the solution. ( )
