About the Author
Having had a father who loved reading as much as breathing, and a mother who created nap time stories, Dorothy Grizzell (Miz Grizz) developed an early love for children’s books. She studied art for three years, but her favorite class was Children’s Literature. After teaching elementary school for 22 years, she now combines the best of both worlds by writing and illustrating books for children. A Kansas native, she presently lives in Idaho with her husband, George, and their pesky poodle, Cocoa Bean. They have two grown children, Matthew and Adam..

Cute book for little kids,
By your friend (Bowling Green, KY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The World's Most Magnificent Vacuum Cleaner (Paperback)
My son requested a book about a vacuum cleaner and we found this one. The drawings are done with marker and colored pencil (I think) in the style of an older child drawing them, which gives the book a charming homemade quality. The story is simple: a vacuum cleaner salesman sells a vacuum cleaner that will pick up anything, it cleans great but soon things and people disappear until the brother is the only one left; he sees the vacuum cleaner coming after him, he unplugs it, unzips it, and lets his family out. This book is just right for a five and three-year-old; slightly scary, but not too much since everything is okay in the end. They've requested to read it again and again. There is one typo which I find annoying, but overall just right if you want a book about a vacuum cleaner for your kids. Just one caveat: If your kids are scared of the vacuum cleaner "eating" things, this might feed that fear.

Fantastic book for children,
This review is from: The World's Most Magnificent Vacuum Cleaner (Paperback)
I bought this book for my 3 and 5 year old boys, but my older children love it too. It's one of the few children's books I can get my 12 year old to read to her younger siblings without bribery. The drawings are sweet and entertaining. I love how the first letter on each page is cleverly made into a character pertaining to the action on that page. The story is great and done in such a way as to not scare the little ones. I have recommended this book to all my family and friends.
