Cute book to crush stereotypes of elderly. Love it.
I liked this book.It has that repetitive element that’s good for young kids and early readers so they can engage and help predict the words.It’s simple enough and short enough that young kids won’t loose interest while you are reading it. Not too wordy.The hardcover helps for kids that are rough w books to protect the pages from dropping and running around with it, stepping on it, etc.the pictures are colorful, fun, and the kids Really like them. The only one I thought was a little crazy was the grandma flashing her underwear on the roller coaster, but the kids thought it was funny so I guess that’s the point.I disagree with other reviewers in that I like that the grandma is depicted as plus sized. Plus sized women obviously do do yoga and dance and do all the things that skinny grandmas would do too. Just like older couples dance and romance just like couples do. The book is about crushing stereotypes of people based on age or size or looks. I like that. I like that it’s a book that encourages relationships with elderly and encourages kids to understand they have their own life and interests outside of visiting them. Sometimes my kids don’t understand the schedules and availability of their grandparents so this is a good reinforcement for us that grandparents have their own things they do besides just visiting our house to see them.If one or some of the grandparents in your family can’t physically do active things then this book may be confusing or maybe just a good talking point to discuss with child what the limitations are if any of the person in question.Overall I’d recommend it.

My 2 1/2 laughs when we read this! The illustrations catch his attention and the small quantity of texts on each page makes it perfect for his attention span. My nephew and niece who are in kindergarten and 1st grade love this book too!
We like to FaceTime his grandma several times per week and we have added this book into their chats. (It’s hard to chat via technology with a 2 yr old lol) It’s been a fun way for all of us to engage. We prop our iPad up during the FaceTime and while I read the book his grandma does some of the motions such as dancing. My son laughs and with each page he points to the book and then to grandma to make sure she can see it too. It’s been a great way for his grandparents to interact with him.
This would be an excellent book for grandparents to read to their grandchildren either in person or over FaceTime. It would also be a fun book to read to a child a few days before their grandparents are coming into town.
We highly recommend this book! And thank you for creating such a fun story that has help our family connect and have more meaningful long distance chats via FaceTime. We love it!!!
