In Michaels first kids story, Grandpas Magic Beard, Grandma was always on Grandpas case about his wild imagination. According to Grandpa, he and his two granddaughters went into a magic world in his beard. In Jaycobs Magic Spaceship, Grandpa is at it again. This time, Grandpa and Grandson, Jaycob, are off on a trip to Mars in Jaycobs Magic Spaceship while Grandma is at a ladies meeting. Grandma still believes that all these adventures are just a result of an overactive imagination, but Jaycob and Grandpa know better. Believe it or not, they even have a few space rocks to show that they visited Mars.
