The Grandma Book is delightfully written with simple, primary-color filled pages that grab a little one's attention. It is great for helping little ones to see how grandmas, and people in general, are different and in celebrating those differences. A must for every Grandma to give to their precious grandchildren.

My grandkids just love this book. All the characters in the book have funny colored faces, hair, arms and legs,as well as, different colored shoes which the kids love and giggle at each time we read it.
Grammma

My granddaughter loves the childlike illustrations and brightly colored pages. This is a book she enjoys by herself because the art seems as important as the words. Being a long-distance Grandma, I like that this book keeps Grandma in the forefront of a child's mind. It shows there is a world full of Grandmas and each one is special.

Butterfly Kisses for Grandma and Grandpa

The Grandma Book by Todd Parr is a quick read with cute characteristics of most Grandmas! One or several pages is sure to represent your Grandma. We purchased this as a gift for my mom (my daughter's grandma) for them to read together and they both love it.

I enjoy Todd Parr's books, they are colorful and generally fully illustrative of the sentence used. There is a spot to put a picture of Grandma, Oma, Granny, etc.

My son loves the pictures in this book; we have a lot of fun reading it together! He has gotten excited over the colors since he was three months old. I really like that there's a space for a picture of the grandma in the back cover. I wish that the mommy book and the daddy book, also by Parr, had a space for a photo. I highly recommend!

The Grandma Book is cute book by Todd Parr that celebrates grandmothers-and their differences.

"Some grandmas like to make you eat a lot. Some grandmas like to make you things. All grandmas like to hear from you." (Punctuation added. That's right. There is no punctuation in this picture book until the final page which is a bit like an author's note since it says "Love, Todd". The lack of punctuation is my only dislike.)

The illustrations are bold and bright and have the bold black outline that is also popular in our beloved Maisy books. I definitely recommend this book to families who want a little reminder of the love of grandmothers and how special they are. One of my favorite sets of pages says, "Some grandmas live with a grandpa. Some grandmas live with their friends." (Once again, punctuation added.) It lets kids know that a retirement home or even a nursing home is still a home for grandma! The back cover even has a place for the reader to place a photo of Grandma!

I think The Grandma Book is great for a wide range of ages! I highly recommend it, and just wish that author Todd Parr had used periods in his writing.

I thank Little, Brown for providing this great book for us to enjoy for review purposes. We think their books are fabulous!

This is the cutest and most fun book I've ever seen. And the grandma descriptions are right on! My grandson loves to look at it - which of course I love! Get this book - youll enjoy it!

My 21 month old loves Todd Parr books and this was a great addition to his collection.

My granddaughter, now 2 and 1/2, has loved this book for the past year. It is quite simple, but the pictures have details that she loves to ponder: what colors are all the purses that one grandma has, why does another grandma have a kitty in her car, where is the slide in the playground where another grandma takes her grandchildren -- lots of room for imagination and discussion. I have given it as a gift to friends as they enter grandmotherhood, and they have all enjoyed it.
