Very sweet book with beautiful illustrations. My "almost three year old" loves it. We cuddle and hug while we read it like they do in the book. The author portrays the importance of family gathering for dinner and bonding with one another.

This book is a great story about Sunday dinner at Grannie's house. Jay Jay's mother drops him off at Grannie's house one morning while she goes off to pick up his father. Jay Jay helps his grandmother set the table and feed her fish, but he's quite hungry. Finally, the rest of the dinner guests arrive and they sit down to enjoy a spectacular feast together. After dinner, everyone is full, happy, and tired. The book is engaging and not at all scary. It has about 500 words.

I checked out this book from our local library and we just loved it so I finally purchased it.
When you read it, you can really feel grandmother's love for her grandson.
It is simple but great story.

This book is like comfort food for the young child's literary soul. This is the personal story of one young boy as he spends the day at Grandma's, waiting for Sunday dinner to be ready. He and his grandmother snuggle and cuddle, then they watch Grandma's fish swimming in the fish tank, then they wait and snuggle some more. The illustrations are very sweet and reading this story makes you feel a sense of warmth and comfort.

There was just one thing about this book that I didn't quite like. To me, this book felt as though it were written particularly for one child. It felt so personal that it almost seemed like I was intruding on someone else's story. -Still, all in all, it was a very sweet story.

One of my 20-month-old's favorite books -- she asks for "foo, foo, foo" (full, full, full) all day long. The story of a warm, loving, large family dinner at Grandma's house is timeless and sweet. Living in a primarily caucausian neighborhood, I am happy to have children's books that depict diverse faces.

This book makes you feel at home and draws you into it. Very good illustrations. My son loves it
