SUMMARY: Three grandchildren follow their Grandpa up to the attic where memories are soon to be relived! He shows them a cane, a hat, and tap shoes once they are in the attic. He then puts his memory to use and begins to slide across the floor in order to show his grandchildren what it was like to dance and sing. This story is excellent for grandparents appreciation day or even to show to appreciate elderly people.
