Grandpa's Ha-la-loo-ya Hambone!
Grandpa's Ha-la-loo-ya Hambone! | Joe Hayes
2 posts | 2 read
Kids today grow up knowing all about recycling. But when Joe Hayes was a kid, recycling hadn't been invented. Money was so tight for his family that they had to be inventive about reusing everything. And when the family splurged for a fat hambone to flavor their beans, Joe's mother was determined to make it last as long as possible.

Omg this was so funny! The pictures like the one I included make this story from good to outstanding! This book shows the best of the past and things like doing laundry, grandparents living with the family, country life, having no technology, and how a family interacts in bad times. A simple thing like a hambone and how the community comes together makes a great writing lesson on small moments. One of the few picture book 2018 Bluebonnet books.
