Look Up - Way Up! The Friendly Giant - The Biography Of Robert Homme Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Stroll back to your childhood with this book on the life and career of one of television's most memorable and endearing characters - The Friendly Giant. This show was part of the lives of generations of children, parents and grandparents who would wait to see the boot, watch the castle draw bridge lower and choose a chair by the fireplace weekday mornings on the NET (now PBS) Network in the U.S. and later CBC television in Canada. Memories of Friendly, Rusty, Jerome and the others will return as you read about this remarkable man and those who were a part of this great story. Grant D. Fairley was one of those children who grew up watching Friendly in Windsor, Ontario. Years later, he made the trip to Grafton, Ontario to meet Bob Homme and begin work on this authorized biography. Their many interviews during his retirement and the opportunity to meet others in Bob's story are here now for you to share.Readers say...I just finished reading "Look Up - Way Up" and it was a delight.

I remember The Friendly Giant so very well as a young boy. It was a TV show that never failed to make you feel that all was right with the world. If you saw the show, you would remember everything about it, the set, Rusty the rooster and Jerome the giraffe, and so much more. Fairley's insights and interview with Bob Homme brought me back to a wonderful time of my early youth. Great memories and insights to a beloved television show. Well done.
