Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

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

3.0 out of 5 stars Grandparents raising Grandchildren, November 29, 1999

By	T. Carstens (Sunland, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Raising a grandchild poses many hurddles. One of them is finding books that address the situation of Grandparent as Parent. Thankfully, this beautiful story answers that need. Unlike the standard fare of books like Runaway Bunny, the caregiver in this story is the Grandmother, not the mother. My Grandaughter loved to hear about a child living with his Grandma, and all the fun they have together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Grandmas, May 13, 2005

By	TJ's Mommy (El Dorado Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Grandma and I (...and I) (Board book)

I gave this book to my mom for mother's day. I was hoping that she would enjoy reading it to my son, her grandson. It has a wonderful little story of all the things grandmas can do with their grandchildren. It even gave her ideas! She loves it and he loves to hear her read it. P.K. Hallinan writes wonderful stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story for kids to share with Grandma, April 28, 2006

By	M. Smith (Albertville, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: We're Very Good Friends, My Grandma and I (Paperback)

P.K. Hallinan has a way with words and pictures. We bought many of these books over the years, but this one will always hold a special place in my son's heart. We lost Grandma when he was 5, but he'll always have this book that reminds him of the happy times they shared before she got sick.
