PreSchool-Grade 2-- Simple, colorful cartoon-style illustrations depict the varied activities shared by a child and his grandparents in these two titles. The warmth and affection between child and grandparent is evident, but the texts are repetitive and sentimental. These offerings are less successful than Ackerman's Song and Dance Man (Knopf, 1988), Rockwell's When I Go Visiting (Macmillan, 1984), Chorao's Kevin's Grandma (Dutton, 1975), and Schertle's William and Grandpa (Lothrop, 1989). These read-alouds and read-alone favorites feature warm relationships between children and grandparents in addition to strong character development and lively story lines, both of which are lacking in the Hallinan titles. --Janie Schomberg, Univ . of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
