Depending on whether you're looking for a picture book with a "I love Grandpa" feel or a novel about older kids that have a good relationship with their grandfather. If you want a good novel, I suggest Stand Tall by Joan Bauer. It is really good. I also enjoyed Rash by Pete Hautman. It had a very memorable grandpa character. I absolutely loved him. The first line goes something like "Gramps, who was born in 1990..." so it's a futuristic setting and probably not the most appropriate choice here. As far as picture books are concerned:

A good book about Grandpa's what?
I'd recommend: "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss. ;)

Okay, joking aside, try "My Grandpa is Amazing" by Nick Butterworth.

Call the children's dept at the local public library. They'll give you titles and other ideas.
